Doomed!

We had some friends out for lunch to celebrate her birthday yesterday, and while taking photos of their daughter having a pony ride I noticed these flowers on a passionfruit vine in the garden. Awesome flowers, but alas in Oberon's climate, at this time of year they are doomed! Sooner or later the frost will get them...:rolleyes:.

Hi Al

Lovely shots of an intricate, ornate and beautiful flower. Nice shooting to produce an adequate DOF so that all the fascinating structures were sharp and detailed. Love the token ant to provide a sense of scale!

Cheers

Thanks Dennis.

Would've been nicer if the ant was more inside the DOF than out though.

Nature's a weird sucker, ain't it?

Yep, nature can be pretty weird.

Thanks Chris and Ric.
