Description
From the Garden of One Thousand Buddhas in Montana.
I liked all the various stages, seeing so many steps in the life cycle of this plant. Seemed appropriate for the setting ... an easy association to the impermanence of things.

Well, you know I'll just LOVE this!
It's a perfect example of my theory that for an image to be successful it should make you want to cross the room to see it better.
Wonderful in every way!

Indeed this is sooo interesting to think about and to observe, thereby is this a very creative and lovely photo, also by its superb colours. It's a fantastic display, dear Tara! btw I'm also thinking about what flower this is, I thought Helenium, or Rudbeckia, but they don't have such seed. For me unknown, or one of the Buddha's did something with this flowers, some mysterious thing, LOL !

You managed to find an awful lot of variety in a very small space - well seen & very well composed...

it's never easy for me to "pick up" somewhere in your gallery. Because of my long comments, I can't comment on everything; and picking what to comment on is like favoring one child over the other when you love all of them equally. So I just go with the flow, and remind you that I think no less of the others. So...
I love the concept that this garden shows the many cycles of a plant, as a symbol of Buddha's teaching. Like Claude says, you show much variety in one space. With the stems---esp at top, where they rush by us in diagonals (and there's one that cuts right in front of the flowers)---you captured a strangely "moving" sight, where the flowers seem to appear in the midst of a whooshing time warp in the background, even more a symbol of buddha's teachings. And the flowers are a wonderful array of textures and hues, which you show both clumped and spread apart. A very active photo, for a little 'snippet'. And your crop brings home the excerpt-out-of-life feeling, which only more gets at Buddha's teaching, ie that our lives are but snippets of the cosmos. Beautifully done. And a beautiful little 'miniature' too.
