1. A macro lens shows some amazing details. Nice work.

   • Thank you. it’s a new lens and I was trying it out for the first time.

2. Thanks for taking us there too. I agree it looks like candy, it makes me want to taste it, it’s so colorful. I especially like the one that shows the old flower too…and the appearance of the car (sort of) made me laugh and reminded me that it’s a front yard, not a meadow. I liked that serendipidous seeing the beauty in everything not just the flora. 🙂

   • Thanks for your comments. Yes, I enjoy throwing all aspects of a scene into my gallery.

3. Nice photos! 😀

    • Yes, I love it.

11. Oh my gosh, these are so pretty

    • Thank you for your comment. Glad you enjoyed them.

12. Nice flowers and images. For me the #1 is the dew in the car. Really simple but very graphic composition. Would never guess it was a car, of course. The only little “minus” is the brownish out of focus blob in the center. :).

    • Yes that is probably a bug that has seen better days. Thanks for your comment.

13. What a luxury in your yard 🙂 marvelous job with macros…I’ll be back!

    • Thank you! see you soon.

14. did you use macro lens?

    • Yes, I used a Sigma lens for my Nikon. It was actually a very inexpensive lens. I found it on ebay. I am not sure if they make it anymore.

15. Wow on the first three. I love macros!

    • Thank you. Me too.

16. Love those macro lenses. So amazing to see up close. Thanks for sharing!

17. Great pictures, I especially luke the dew on the car: it looks crisp.

    • Thank you. It was a last second shot.

18. Breathtakingly beautiful! Nature is just astoundingly clever.

    • Yes I agree. I think that to myself every time I go outside.

19. Nice Macro shots! Really dig the last one!

    • Thanks! I appreciate it.

20. After seeing these shots I’ll have to start figuring how I can justify buying a Macro lens……dammit! I was just beginning to feel comfy
    with close-ups using my point and press. Stunning stuff! Thank you.

23. Amazing talent! These pictures are so soothing.. if you ever teach a class, sign me up 🙂

24. They are so alive! I think at some point the flower and the dew were talking to me! haha! You are talented!

    • I don’t know about that (the talent part) but thanks for your comment. 🙂

      • Haha! Own it 🙂 most welcome!

25. Some great shots there…I have a macro lens but have hardly used it, I was disappointed with my first efforts, so will have to pluck up some courage and try again to get to know this lens better.
    Pity the days are getting so short…
    Well done on your first efforts, WAY better than mine 🙂

26. Wonderful photos! I enjoyed cruising thru your blog…you are so talented!

27. It is amazing how beautiful a magnified view of a flower can be. My daughter has won a few competitions taking close ups of flowers. They can look great as canvases on blank walls.

28. Awesome… I love close up shots of plants and animals. I think it makes the object take on an entirely different perspective than just a normal photo of the same object.

    • Thanks Blake
