Beauty in the details, by Patricia Saraiva

I was walking through the garden when I came across this tiny little plant at the foot of a large tree, creepers that grows unnoticed by most of us. It’s admirable how its beauty got enhanced by my macro lens. Its delicate and perfect form is just waiting the right moment, the right wind to fly away in the beautiful blue skies!
