Nature is full of curves and I love capturing them on camera, including these giant fern fiddleheads.

I love the curves the pistils of this beautiful purple and yellow lily form.

Flower petals often display some type of curve. The petals of this yellow rose are a lovely example of curves.

Of course, roses are not the only flowers to display curves. Here are the fancy curves of an orange protea pin cushion flower.

Many types of fruit display beautiful curves, like this ripe yellow lemon ready to be picked from the tree.

As for animals, some of them can be pretty curvy, like these cute little seahorses with their curved tails and curved bellies.

Flamingos have such long necks they tend to walk around with them in a curved position. Check out the little duck at the bottom left, he’s got some curved neck going too!

Of course human beings can create a lot of curves too. Check out this beautiful chandelier in the lobby of the Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego. It’s full of curves!

Amazing Shots!
Thank you very much for stopping by today and taking the time to comment.
Great shot… love the flamingo… 🙂
Thank you! You know that flamingo wanted me to take his picture!

Beautiful curvy photos, Milka. I love that yellow rose. 🙂
Thank you, I like photographing roses but they’re always a challenge to capture at the right angle.
I find it difficult to photograph flowers successfully, but you do it really well. 🙂
Thank you very much! Flowers seem so easy to photograph because they don’t move like people or animals, but getting the right focus, angle and light is a challenge.
I love the rose and lemon (maybe I’m partial to yellow?)
You know, I’ll never wear yellow but I love spotting it in nature. It’s like nature smiling at us, a big bright smile!
Same here. Yellow drains me of all color and makes me look sickly…but I love it in nature.
They are, as usual, all excellent. I love the fiddlehead ferns and the sea horse.

Thank you very much, Janet! I swear I subscribed to your blog but I don’t get the updates. I’ll have to figure this out, especially since it happens to me all the time.
Maybe they come in your reader. I have as many as possible on email notification because I don’t always remember to check my reader but that’s where they all go, I think.
I never look at my reader, so that could be the problem. I just subscribed by email so hopefully it works!
Check your reader. I don’t recall how I switched mine to email. If I get a chance to check, I’ll let you know.
I think it’s going to work now. Fingers crossed!
Good. Nice to have you around. 🙂
As a Kiwi the fern has to be my favourite.
Glad you like them. They’re really big so easier to photograph than smaller ferms for sure.
I love photos like this that make us pay more attention to nature. Funny how many curves there are out there.
There are definitely more curves out there than straight lines and sharp corners. Spotting shapes in nature is a lot of fun. I mean, look at the perfect hexagons that bees create in the hive. How cool is that? And yes, it’s all straight lines and corners there.
Love them all, beautiful x
Thank you very much, Jo!
Wonderful variety! You have a good eye.
Thanks, Nancy!
Beautiful Milka, especially the fern…
Thank you, I love the curves on it for sure.
