Thought that should be delicate enough for this theme.

Reaching Out




Photographed (K20D and Sigma 70mm Macro; 1/400 at f8, 400ASA) mid-morning using natural light and a neutral(ish) backdrop placed just behind the clematis shoot. I found the freshness and delicacy of the growing tip with its covering of fine 'hairs' (not easy to appreciate at this size) apealing as it 'reached out' and searched for somewhere new to anchor and extend its growth.

A jonquill in my garden its delicate.
