Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment and favoring my images. Enjoy the day.

Close-up view of a thistle flower bud showing intricate green spines and a vivid purple center on a soft green background.

This guy strolled out of this flower. Check out the hairs on his chinny chin chin.

Attempting to prioritize detail with the center of the flower. At the same time I was looking to bring out soft but detailed background grass. Nikon Macro Lens.

How appropriate for the Nicola Valley.

A super macro of one small mum that was on a bush.

I love the amount of things to look at in this photo. It's soft but busy.

Frozen bouquet flower. This was not the most attractive bloom so I froze it to give it some interest.

Part of a series of dried flowers I am working on. Just three roses past their prime.

A close up of a lily petal.

A Grasshopper landed on sunflower.

Droplets get smaller as they move into the rose's center void. Don't blink...those drops don't stay in place very long.

This is an experiment in colored light. 4 different light sources in 3 colors.

Blue light seeping from the drop.

A double exposure of a scabious flower in my garden. I'd been so focused on using my Lensbabies for my 100 x challenge that I forgot how much I love my macro lens.

Took this picture in Dunnigan California, same morning as the pokie weed/flower with a bee that I posted a few days ago.

Each stamen looks to be going in its own direction.

It is that time of season in Miami. Everything is blooming from the mango trees to the orchids.
