Looking Closer (74) – A Flower By Another Zoom
Whether or not a rose by another name smells as sweet (sorry Bill Quillmaster, you’re off on this one — most people would find “vomit blossom” less sweet), is a blossom from another perspective as beautiful?
Um. Probably not. While the above x60 digital microscope shot of the tissue to a Mexican petunia blossom is kinda neat, it likely causes a different type of arousal than naked-eyeball-grade beauty. At least to those minds aroused by such things.
And? Who said “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”? That person neglected to also mention angle, zoom, and lighting.
