Amidst green foliage, you proudly stand

Posted by
Steven (Chicagoland, United States) on 5 June 2023 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

In the golden glow of a summer's morn,
A yellow tulip, radiant and reborn,
Bathed in the sun's embrace, so bright,
A mesmerizing sight, pure delight.

Oh, yellow tulip, standing tall and proud,
Nature's masterpiece, amidst the crowd,
Your vibrant hue, a symbol of cheer,
Dispelling darkness, bringing hope near.

Spotted at Oak Brook Shopping Center in Oak Brook, Illinois.

Not really intended to post this photo for the weekly prompt, until I saw the very tiny gnat that is on the surface of the tulip's petal in front.

Weekly prompt: Small World

Without Steven's indication I would never have seen the gnat. My concentration would be totally focused on the yellow beauty of the tulip and the play of shadows that exist inside.

Superb angle and beautiful composition.
