Flowers have a universal beauty that appeals to everyone. But while most of us relish an opportunity to breathe in the fragrance of a bouquet, or simply stop and drink in the sight of a bank of spring blooms, few of us have looked at flowers on quite the scale that Julia does. Her close-up photographs of single blooms - rose petals, cactus blooms and the like - and of leaves, such as grass or flax, unveil their subjects in exquisite and intimate detail, revealing a normally hidden natural world of gorgeous colour, texture and pattern. Bud Flower Leaf Life showcases more than 40 of Julia's photographs, many of them complemented by thoughtful quotations from well-known artists, writers and other individuals, making this the perfect gift book for the flower lover.
