There is so much fun in nature.

I like to get up close and personal with the world around us and in doing so I discover unexpected beauty and wit.

This is a close-up of a flower no bigger than a 10c piece.
Its petals are curled and folded in such a way that it has a face.  It seems almost human.
Like a court jester, it is laughing at something. Mocking something.
What could that be? Me?
Whatever it is, like any laughter, it seems to be infectious.
The more I look at this image, the larger the smile is on my face.

They can stand alone, or be collected as part of an ongoing series.
