Beautiful Milkweed

I don't usually have a good eye for the beauty of flowers, but I really do identify with milkweed flowers. I said before that thinking of them as alien plants really helps me see them differently. That thought really opens my eyes to their beauty.

I was looking through my newest pictures, and the one above really struck me as beautiful. That rarely happens for me. Like I said, I just lack an eye for the beauty of flowers. I like them okay, but I'm just not as excited about them in the same way as most people are.

I do like a good closeup of a flower though because that gives that alien-like view that I so identify with. A flower can look pretty weird when you look at it in a certain way, which is how I like it.

I threw this second picture in mainly because it is from the same group as the first one. That first one really impressed me though. This second one has a bug in it though, so it has its own good quality. A bug can always enhance a picture, depending on the bug.

I mean, if it's just an everyday housefly then it may take away from the picture. But if you get a nice colorful bee in there then you have something extra. But honestly, with milkweed you don't really need the extra bug anyway.

But anyway, I think what I keep trying to say is that I really like milkweed. Do I really need to say it anymore? Maybe not, but you know that one of these times I'll bring another milkweed plant out to admire. Talk to you later.
