Sometimes, people ask me what my favorite flower is, and I honestly find it difficult to give them an answer. It's not because I don't appreciate flowers enough, but rather because there are simply too many beautiful and unique varieties to choose from.
I guess I'm the kind of person who appreciates every flower for what it is. Some flowers have large and beautifully shaped petals, while others are small and delicate. Some have interesting patterns, while others stand out because of their unusual shapes and textures.
For me, choosing just one favorite would mean overlooking the beauty that the others have to offer.
This is also one of the reasons why I enjoy photographing flowers so much. Every time I go for a walk around the garden, there's always something interesting waiting to be discovered. Even flowers that I've photographed many times before can look completely different depending on the lighting and angle.
Of course, I prefer taking black-and-white photos because they allow me to appreciate the flowers beyond their natural colors. Without the distraction of colors, I can focus more on their forms, textures, and the contrast between the petals and their surroundings.
Looking at the photos I'm sharing today, I think each flower has something special to offer. Some have soft and smooth petals, while others have intricate details that become more noticeable in monochrome.
I guess this also reminds me of how we should appreciate the differences in everything around us. Beauty doesn't have to be a competition, and not everything needs to be ranked to be appreciated.
Sometimes, it's better to simply admire things for their uniqueness rather than trying to decide which one is the best.
That's how I see flowers, and choosing a favorite is definitely not in my book.
I hope you enjoy the photos I'm sharing today.
Have a good day ahead!
