This close-up canvas of Ixora buds preparing to bloom is a great way to convey a sense of organic elegance anywhere you want a little more connection to life and nature.
I spent my teen years growing up in Malaysia.
An annual event of my school was a sports day where we'd go for a run through Penang's Botanical Gardens. In a recent trip back to Penang, I revisited the gardens - and, as is ever the case, appreciated how pretty they are much more than I was capable of as a younger person.
This flower I thought was one of the more artistic shots I took whilst walking around the garden. As ever, should you find yourself in Penang, Malaysia, I highly recommend a walk through the Botanical Gardens.
No better place for beauty and serenity in a tropical climate.
