Just Flowers (somewhat picture heavy)

Scrolling through my flower photos looking for the ones containing bugs brought me so much pleasure, I thought I’d share a few with you …

One of my first and still favourite shots

Close …


and closer …

Beautiful, Cindy!! I also love the first one, but also the thistle (?) with the blacked out background. Talent!

Amazing variety!

I love the creeping dogwood…but yes, the first one is amazing and my favorite!

They are so gorgeous, all of them! I’m drawn to the intense close-up, as well as that first one…really, all of them are spectacular.

Good eye, it is a thistle. I was so happy with the background, it was a macro photo and my camera blacked everything out when I got the focus right.

Those are some of my favourites to take. How close can I get and still have it in focus.

My neighbour was laughing at me the first spring we lived here as I walked around our yard taking shots of all the flowers I could find. It’s interesting what grows in an old field, some tiny spectacular flowers.

Beautiful photos! They really have luscious saturated color. I am also pleased that I was able to name about half of the flowers. What is the yellow flower in the third photo?
