From the overlying weight of hundreds of thousands of tonnes of rock.

Right next to the path.

With crystal clear water.

Feelers or antenna.

Grassy uplands.

Grassland at the top.

In the bluest blues.

Each petal perfectly spaced, with overlapping layers.

Of an unusual flower visitor.

Snow white it will be.

Capturing or creating its own soil. In contrast to the green spiky moss that shares this patch.

Normally these spread out flat on the ground. But in this case its been pushed up against a rock and seems quite comfortable. Perhaps also working on getting out of the shade.

Wonder what they are after. Seem to be spending more time on the petals. Vurt wait there are more.

So different. In all different stages of opening. In the larger setting.

High contrasting pink white petals. Among the succulent leaves and mosses A pretty patch in natures rock garden.

Bright yellow contrasted with two shades and textures of green. Even more variations on the theme as we zoom out.

Given the size of the flower the little guy at the one o'clock is miniscule. Barely visible if it weren't for the macro.

But still its petals look in pristine condition.

The protea, one opened and one closed.

On mountain spurs.
