This picture was taken in 2009 of one of my wife’s many flowers she grew every year. I believe it is of the center of an old-fashioned day lily.

One of the major themes of RJsMosaics is the beauty of flowers. I have taken hundreds of pictures of flowers, and many will likely find their place in my Mosaic project. The above image is the first one. (My digital cameras like my Sony RX10, and iPhone 14 just don’t do a very good job at close up, so I have resurrected my Canon EOS 6 DSLR with a macro lens for future closeups.)

Let’s start out with a quote from someone wise about the beauty of flowers.

Art is the unceasing effort to compete with the beauty of flowers – and never succeeding.

Gian Carlo Menotti

I am still working on being accomplished at macrophotography, but I think the picture above does a good enough job of illustrating the beautiful depth of flowers.

I want to close out this post with a personal quote from me:

“Looking down into the depth of a flower assures my that there is a God”
