Closeup can simply mean noticing something, stopping, and taking a closer look.I was walking through a neighborhood of nice houses, up streets that wound up a seaside hill, and passed a house with climbing roses growing on a wall flanking the curb. A gardener was pruning the shrubs, and as I walked past where he worked, I saw the flowers and petals fallen on the sidewalk, the petals like bright confetti.
This rose with its streaked and striped petals looks so bright against the old concrete, I had to stop, kneel down right there in the street, and take its closeup.
Ahh, those are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThose look very nice, Aunt Snow.
ReplyDeleteI find that my Canon A710 is adept at at a large number of things, but closeups are not one of them.

Wonderful colours against that grey ground! Think I would have been inclined to keep them on the bush another day!!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful timing: their colors were so bright and full of life. Doubtless in a day or two, they'll be shrivelled shadows of their former selves.
ReplyDeleteAwesome interpretation of the theme!
