It’s been a long time since I put my macro lens on my camera and took it out for a walk. Last week my photo buddies and I visited Green Acres Nursery in Citrus Heights, Calif. Richard had a cell phone, Ray had a bridge camera and I had my XT3.
Here’s some of what I captured.
I am so grateful to Green Acres for allowing us to come and photograph their beautiful flowers. We do sometimes purchase flowers and other items. It just relaxes me to wander through the rows of florals with my camera, and, of course, lunch always follows!

Simply glorious, Anne xx

My local nursery has allowed me to go and take photos in the past, it is nice when they do that.
Glad you got your macro out Anne, I think you should do it more.

You do such a wonderful job of shooting Macros, Anne! All images are splendid, but I especially like your feature image. There’s so much detail showing through, shadows, pollen, textures, movement. Simply beautiful!
