Shirley I have to share some history behind this piece. When I was a wee lad (a hundred years or so ago!)by great-aunt Jessie had one of these hanging from her parlor wall. I was fascinated by it's bizarre appearance. Fast forward ahead 40 or 50 years later, I spark a renewed interest in "The Claw" which was, by now, in my possession. I tracked down seeds via internet research and grew the plants. The flower (which you see here in inverted colors) features a "yellow brick road" (actually my working title, "Follow the...")which lures pollinators into it's nectar pit, due to their sensitivity to chroma yellow. Cool huh?

Teratai, I obviously made an error in judgement with this one 'cause a lot of viewers see the fish......(fish, flower, flora, fauna they all start with an "f"!) LOL I'm happy you're looking and seeing something! Thanks, -john

Wow, thought it might have been an underwater shot of a gorgeous fish. It is truly beautiful work John. Inverted? Cool. A fav for me :)

Gotta say thanks for 'gently' prodding me out of the shadows too, you cheeky thing ;P How's a girl meant to keep any secrets round here, eh? hehehehe...

Luv ya heaps, sexy. The divorce is almost final. Promise you'll wait for me, ok? ;-D

Thank you Annemette, I have a lot of fun enhancing these reality shots, (I seldom post them out of respect to nature), but it's good therapy for the mind! LOL
I'm happy you like this one. -john
