Good Morning Everyone,

Well, the weekend is almost upon us again!
I am beginning to use Helen's themes like a clock!
Themetime is a prelude to the weekend!

I found this subject surprisingly difficult. As I have had little opportunity to do any serious photographing, I had to search my archives for something suitable. Nothing really seemed to fit the bill. Then I came upon my pansies! I have always said they had faces and what is more symmetrical than a face. It is a mirror image!

So, with that in mind, here is Nature's Mirror a pansy.

Thank you for stopping by.
Please feel free to offer feedback on any aspect of the photograph. :-)

Hello Beverly
Its purely by chance that both of us have found abstract symmetry at the same place..."Nature".
An excellent shot
Vibrant colours and great symettry.
God is indeed a master craftsman.

Beautiful photo...
Nice colors and composition...

I do love pansies Bev but I have always had problems keeping them alive (and the pests away from them). Good rich colour fine detail and I like the flower fading into the border. TFS,

Hello, Bev.

This is a lovely shot - fabulous velvety textures and beautiful colours. Nature has beautiful symmetry - but not quite mathematically perfect and that's what adds to the beauty!

Excellent!

Best Wishes,

John.

hello Bev,
you already know that I am particu;arly fond of pansies so this is a winner for me. I like the close up but to be honest I am not sure where the symmetry is! :)

They are indeed symetrical Bev, I also used one in my try at this difficult theme (- no time to upload as yet).
