The natural world holds beauty even at a microscopic scale, and each year, Nikon's Small World photo competition opens our eyes to a whole new realm of diminutive detail.

Macro photos of South African seeds by photographer Dillon Marsh based in Cape Town.

I was on a trip today where I found these floatinghearts. In the area are also wine ranks so I was thinking about France and Monet which inspired me to do something artistic with the photo - this is the result. I hope you like it :-)

The little flower seems happy and there is also plenty to be happy about. It is a very seldom flower in Denmark, but the spread of bee orchid, as it is called, in the area where I found it is increasing :-)

I found one of my favorite flowers today. Small and humble but nevertheless beautiful.

Last year they were a little further in the beginning of May. The April weather must have set them a little back, but now they are here :-)

The end is near for this season of flowers in the forest. Soon the trees will take over and form a darkness at the floor of the forest.

Spring is on :-D

I went to the Botanical Garden in Copenhagen to test out my new camera and lens - it turned out to work quite good, so I am looking forward to be using it a lot more :-)

Lilium orientalis--thanks to AdelleChattre for the ID!

I hope to see more of these flowers soon :-)

A photo from 2014 of flowers floating on water turned into an impressionistic piece of art.

Everything soon turns grey, brown and dull, but fortunately the roses are still around to bring color to the world :-)

A beautiful flower from a beautiful place I visited last week. M o r e pictures at my site.

Another photo from my trip to the Copenhagen Botanical Garden. M o r e pictures at my site. This little flower was very small. Not many people noticed it.

A small group of armeria maritima were asking for a photo to be taken :-)

New to the world striving for light.

One of the most yellow flowers are now blossoming a lot of places. It is actually quite beautiful and apparently also a favorite for small beetles :-)

Now the white anemone is here, spring is a fact :-)

China’s tulip farms are a must-see tourist attraction in the warmer months. The farmers have fun with the flowers, creating intricate designs like swirls, zig-zags and even a ying and yang symbol. The beautiful colors are spectacular from the ground, but look even more magnificent from above.
