This weeks challenge is well timed for me. I’ve been trying to record an Agapanthus from bud to bloom for the last couple of weeks. Some of the photos are taken quite late in the evening, some earlier and todays just now at 5.30. There have been days with gloomy weather, some with sun and some rainy so the image quality varies quite a bit. Also getting in the right position has been amusing today, I had to go from the opposite direction to see the most open parts of the flower and got tangled in the shrubbery!
So the foreshadow,
Some places along the way.
and today the finale.
How will you interpret this weeks challenge? http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2013/08/02/foreshadow/

Lovely, Gilly! I’ve been doing exactly the same thing here, too!
I hope you’ll post the results?
That is a brilliant series Gilly. I love the shape of Agapanthus leaves as well.
It’s is interesting to hear how you go about taking your pictures. Flowers are such giant miracles in exploding from tight buds.
wow, wonderful shots gilly, such clarity and focus 🙂
Beautiful, Gilly. I had a similar idea.
