Weekly Photo Challenge: Inside – The Courgette (Zucchini) Flower

This week’s challenge from WordPress is INSIDE.

It pays to look deeper into things – inside things. You never now what you might see.

My photo is of a courgette flower, taken earlier this week. My intention in photographing it was to get the effect of the sun shining through the petals. What I also captured inside the flower were the busy ants enjoying the sweetness of the nectar from the plant. It was a surprise addition to my photo.
