Michaela’s Favourite Photographs #14. Sometimes The Simple Things
Versailles, France, 2015. And here we end this short series of some of Michaela’s favourite photographs, with a shot of beautiful and stunning simplicity. Leaving the glorious palace to explore the sumptuous gardens, the rain started to fall with extraordinarily bad timing, just as we stepped away from the sanctuary of the grand building. And yet the rain brought a gift: clear, dainty raindrops clinging to leaves and flower heads throughout the gardens, nowhere more perfect than on this delicious pink rose.

Oh, I really enjoyed this series. And to end it with such a beautiful flower is a fitting end!

A beautiful rose to end this series, all of which I’ve really enjoyed 🙂

that is perfectly said- stunning simplicity from the color, to the graceful fall of the petals, to the little bit of rain 🙂

Stunning, Michaela!. I am kind of sad to know that this is your last “Michaela’s Favorite” post.

Those petals look so pretty and delicate, but also a bit sad from the rain. Seems fitting for your last post of “Michaela’s favourite photographs” series.

The drops bring freshness to the petals, but then the rain alters the beauty of the flower; there are often two sides to the story.

What a beautiful photograph! I agree with you that sometimes the simple things are the most amazing. It looks like a peaceful and relaxing place to be. I admire your talent and passion for photography.

Exquisite but I hope there may be more of Michaela’s Favourite Photographs at a later date.

We did that series as a “fill-in” when we weren’t travelling, so there could well be a part 2!
