collared light

collared light by mimbrava.
I found this morning glory last week at the Chattahoochee Nature Center. Here's some information about the flower.

I'm using executive privilege in inviting this into the Abstract Flower(p)art pool.

Talking about depth and capturing light :-) But there's more, this pic shows how a flower and abstract art perfectly merge together. I love it.
