One morning, I was feeling the need to take my camera for a walk; maybe a macro walk. So I put on my macro lens and went over to my local Green Acres in Citrus Heights. I like walking through their garden and they don’t mind me taking pictures.
Here’s some of what I captured that morning.

With my macro need taken care of, I felt much better and the day seemed brighter.
Lovely and colorful photos

I love your photos – using a macro lens on a good camera that gives you the ability to change your focus has such different results than just switching on the macro on a point and shoot and hoping it will focus. Your feature image of the orange flower is an especially wonderful example…

I love the vibrant colours here and the way you’ve arranged the photos, shading from brightest to more delicate!

Thanks Sarah! The arrangement was more or less the order in which I photographed them. I think I’m attracted by bright colors and then move toward the pale shades.

Dear Anne
Beautifully photographed flowers. They look so immaculate, much better than the flowers in our garden.
Thanks for showing us your pictures,
