Petal Symmetry

[click image to enlarge]

I spotted this dahlia catching the last rays of sunshine at the garden of the Adams Mansion. The background was so dark that I thought it would work in monochrome. Click here for more black and white images at Aileni's Monochrome Monday site. I hope everyone has a great week.

Flowers don't always work in mono, but single blooms like this break that rule.

Only God could do such wonders. Poor man, he isn`t clever enough to admire the world and praise the Lord for His divine work!

It has an understated elegance done in b&w. And you even have a little bug!

This tiger swallowtail butterfly was a delight to see pollinating the phlox bed along my driveway.
