The tiny blossoms of this plant which is called “gooseberry” locally are usually unnoticed at a distance but really quite pretty when one gets to see them up close. Often, people are like that.

Thanks Anna. I try to catch the beauty and character of the plant if I can. This is the first photo I’ve taken of this one that I’ve liked. They are very small.

The tiny little trumpets look very tropical when considered up close! I do a lot of macro shots of tiny flowers as well. Small intricate things intrigue me.
I love your analogy to people…it is so true! Some may not display a lot of outward flash, but upon close inspection there is true beauty to be found.

I love to see the little things. I’ve been so happy with everything to which I’ve been introduced by the camera lens.

These are prettier than I thought they would be up really close.

Perhaps that’s why I like wildflowers and quiet people.
