Macro Monday: Pink Flowers

Posted by Zeee Labels: Beverly Hills, California, Flowers, Macro, Photography, Plants

This is my first time to join Macro Monday and I am starting off with photos I took last Saturday. I'm not sure what flower this is but I snapped away and tried to focus on its pistil.

Friday Inspirations: The Power of Your Love

The Waves, originally uploaded by Z`riz.

I always associate the waves with power. However, the power that I can see is not the power that corrupts and destroys us; but the power of God's love.

The Power of Your Love

Lord I come to You
Let my heart be changed renewed
Flowing from the grace that I found
In You

Lord I've come to know
The weakness I see in me
Will be stripped away
By the power of Your love

Hold me close
Let Your love surround me
Bring me near
Draw me to Your side

And as I wait
I'll rise up like the eagle
And I will soar with You
Your Spirit leads me on
By the power of Your love

Lord unveil my eyes
Let me see You face to face
The knowledge of Your love as You live
In me

Lord renew my mind
As Your will unfolds my life
In living every day
By the power of Your love

Hold me close
Let Your love surround me
Bring me near
Draw me to Your side

Daisy

Daisy, originally uploaded by Z`riz.

Bellis perennis is a common European species of Daisy, often considered the archetypal species of that name. Many related plants also share the name "Daisy", so to distinguish this species from other daisies it is sometimes qualified as Common Daisy, Lawn Daisy or occasionally English daisy. It is native to western, central and northern Europe. The species is widely naturalized in North America, where it is considered an invasive weed.

It is a herbaceous plant with short creeping rhizomes and small rounded or spoon-shaped evergreen leaves 2–5 cm long, grows close to ground. The flowerheads are 2–3 cm in diameter, with white ray florets (often tipped red) and yellow disc florets; they are produced on leafless stems 2–10 cm (rarely 15 cm) tall.
