Waiting for Treasure

Spotted this Treasure Flower bud at Gardens by the Bay this morning — still holding its secret, not quite ready to bloom.

Shot with Dad’s old Leica-R 100mm f/2.8 macro adapted to my Canon R5. It’s fully manual, and with such a shallow depth of field, nailing focus was tricky. But there’s something about how Leica lenses render light and softness — that creamy bokeh, that sense of something hidden just beneath the surface.

A quiet reminder that sometimes, the treasure is in the waiting.
