MACRO ASTER - shifting light

Despite being macros it is not the detail in the shots of this tall purple Aster from my Monet Garden that I want to draw your attention to.
  

It is the colour.
They were taken immediately one after the other but from a slightly different angle that changed the lighting and changed the colour. 

I love this reminder that we are dependent on our senses, our senses in turn dependent on their inputs.  
The flower did not change between photos. 
I changed.

A simple metaphor for much of life.
