My macro lens has been sitting in the camera case for a long time. It must have been calling to me because I got the sudden urge to take it to my local Green Acres Nursery. They don’t mind photographers walking around with cameras.
I was there about an hour, taking pictures. I focused on the task, and left relaxed, feeling good and not thinking about what’s happening in the world. Here are some of the beauties I photographed.














I hope these flowers relax you as taking their photos relaxed me. Take care and live in gratitude.
Flowers and nurseries are some of the best things! These are lovely shots. I especially like the pale red violet bougainvillea and the hydrangea. Glad you took this time for yourself.

I meant to get over here to read your post, Anne! Brilliant macros and close ups of the gorgeous flowers! Seeing fields or gardens of flowers is always a stunning sight, but seeing their intricate details up close is eye- opening.
