Sinakan town tiny flowers

Around Sinakan town on the Island of Sabtang, I found these tiny flowers growing wild in abandoned lots, within concrete crevices, and along the narrow pedestrian pathways.

The wind was gusty and the fast-moving clouds made the light uncontrollable for natural-light macrophotography. I was real lucky master-photographers Noli G. and Ken S. literally lent their hands. One of us set-up wind-guards to keep the subjects still while the other filtered the light with a piece of plastic, softening it just so slightly to perfectly expose the shots. Then we all traded places. (Thanks guys.)

There we were, in a small town on a remote island at the northern-most tip of the Philippines, and we find exquisite beauty when we looked through a magnifying lens. If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, why does beauty also exist when no one was looking?

(To understand the scale of these flowers, if a flower filled half the entire height of the photograph, it would measure 6mm. That would be about the length of a single grain of rice. Yes, they're that small! These photos were shot in Batanes)
