Queen Anne's Lace

This flower of Daucus carota reminds me of a burst of fireworks for Independence Day.

Oh what an excellent capture. Beautiful way of composing the flower right in the middle of the shot. And great depth.

Hard to believe such a stunning flower is considered a week by some!

You captured the Queen in all her glory, at the crown!

Thanks. The plant was growing along the street. It doesn't get any more natural than that.

Thanks to all for the comments. If you click on the picture to enlarge it, you can see a little black star in the center of the flower.
