Pretty In Pink

Flowers, Pink, Dianthus, Macro
It’s good to keep your camera handy because you never know when or where you’re going to find a worthy subject. I spotted this collection of Dianthus blooms at a small wayside flower bed along Memorial Drive in Two Rivers, Wisconsin.

According to Better Homes and Gardens, “The dianthus plant is the quintessential cottage flower. Dianthus pink is treasured for its grasslike, blue-green foliage and abundant starry flowers, which are often spicily fragrant. Depending on the type of dianthus pink, flowers appear in spring or summer and tend to be white, pink, red, rose, or lavender, but come in nearly all shades except true blue. Dianthus plants range from tiny creeping groundcovers to 30-inch-tall cut flowers, which are a favorite with florists. The “pink” part of their name has a two-fold meaning: Plants are often pink in color, and the petals have a fringed look as if someone took pinking shears to their edges.”

Guarding the Beauty

Spider, Dianthus, Flowers, PinkThis is kind of a beauty-and-the-beast image.  The Dianthus flowers in our yard caught my eye.  As I moved in to take the shot, the little crab spider made himself known. I didn’t see him until I was right on top of him.  I backed off…then moved in…then backed off…then moved in.  When I moved in, he would take an aggressive stance.  When I backed off, he would relax.  Whatever his strategy was, it must have worked well since, judging by the girth of his tiny frame, I’d say he hadn’t missed any meals.

This photo was taken several years ago with my old Kodak camera. A little “vintage” Pops Digital for you.
