Photo Hunt - Narrow
The subject for this week's entry for Photo Hunt is Narrow. While there's nothing narrow about a crocus I suppose, it is an example of what is currently in bloom in a narrow north-south facing garden!
you always manage to inspire me to take more/better pics. i'm heading to the pond this weekend to take some duckie shots. thx for the silent encouraging me *wink* And, so glad you joined the big bang. my authority went from 29 to 200 in a week!!
That's a great take on the theme. The crocus is beautiful. I'll have to start checking for my crocuses to begin popping up. I think it's usually late February here when they arrive to remind me of spring. I hope you have a great weekend.
Well before it came fully into bloom it was narrow. You must be off work with your toe, you have been posting up a storm here Jams. Have a great weekend.
We don't have crocus in Singapore. Does it come in different colours? They would look great for our Chinese New Year. Colour of Gold !!! It means prosperity! :)
Whatta lovely flower, i always admire the beauty of nature, never get tired of them. Great shot! Happy weekend! Mine is up too please take a look whenever you get the chance, thank you! NARROW FEED THE ROAD
The photo is beautiful though, and there is a narrow space between the top and the petals, which is likely where the bees have to fit through to get the nectar (if they are out gathering from crocuses).
Beautiful shot! Happy photo hunting :)

ReplyDeleteI think it's real interesting that you've thought of shooting the flower because it's pointing towards the narrow south facing garden! :)

ReplyDeleteTee hee, jams... guess you went for an interpretation of this week's theme that was far from narrow, huh? ;b
ReplyDeleteGreat shot, and I do love your interpretation. I stuck to the straight and narrow :)
ReplyDeleteVery beautifully macro photograph. Amazing colours.
ReplyDeleteMarvellous blog with improbably posts.
Good grief, you already have 28 comments and thchick's post isn't up yet! hOW DID YOU DO THAT? Whoops.
ReplyDeleteTHat is a very roundabout way of photographing narrow! But a beautiful photo and how lovely to see crocuses opening up for the sun.
Our crocuses have been pretty flattened by hail and wind. I don't think any have been allowed to get to this beauty's standard.

ReplyDeleteI have never see this color crocus, it is time for them to start peeping out of the cold ground.
ReplyDeleteFabulous take on narrow - the stamen is narrow! And because of the narrow garden! :D

ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by -- and have a great weekend. ;o)
The photo is beautiful though, and there is a narrow space between the top and the petals, which is likely where the bees have to fit through to get the nectar (if they are out gathering from crocuses).
ReplyDeleteAnd it is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot! I love how the flower is isolated against the dark background - really makes the colors stand out!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit!

That is a great way to interpret the narrow. We would be very narrowminded to reject it. Thanks for stopping by.
