TODAY'S FLOWERS & I Heart Macro - Playing with a new Toy


Just got my Macro lens
tee hee hee


playtime: a little hillock
of pollen


who knew that English daisy petals
looked like polyps??


a little splash of colour
hanging on after last night's
severe frost


and a few shy Tritelias
sheltering under a rose bush


Wether you have summer or winter where you are
make sure you enjoy whatever is blooming.

    1. Sallie dear, we are in our last moth of winter and the frosts are getting worse and our houses are built for Mediterranean conditions not for the for the cold blasts we are getting from Antarctica.
