Love those purple water lilies! They kind of glow. The dragonfly is looking a little drab in comparison; I might play with dodging him some to bring out more detail.

The dragonfly is rather overpowered by the flower.

Great time of day for the shot. I like the one classic car. I wish they were all classic cars.

Nature's Patterns: Nigella

Comment by pixelpig:
Hi! I have often done my best to capture this interesting flower in the field, so I especially admire this fine shot. You probably already know, it's also called Love-in-a-Mist, & is dedicated to the Christian saint, St. Catherine and is offered to the saint on the 25th of November. Also Nigella Sativa oil (made from the seeds) was found in Tutankhamen's tomb. It is known to have been used by Cleopatra for it's health and beauty giving qualities. Hypocrates, the grandfather of todays scientific medicine, regarded Nigella Sativa as a valuable remedy in hepatic and digestive disorders. I thought you might find these random bits of lore interesting (if you don't already know). Thanks for entering this fine shot, wish it had scored higher.
