FLOWER GARDEN

I dont often post photographs of the flowers that I use for my mandalas. Sometimes my more appealing photographs are never even used for mandala making

With the purchase of my new camera, I want to become a better photographer. Sometime in my lifetime, I might even want to purchase a dSLR with a bonafide macro lens, since macro photography is what most interests me.
Up close and personal!

These are some of my favorite spring flowers.

From top to bottom: mallow, purple freesia, camelia, dutch iris, tulip tree blossom

Top is very Oh Georgia Ohhh, you know who I mean.

Fertile post. Closeup of flowers are hard to do without a macro.

Little award for you somewhere.

I checked out the link in your comment and it looks good - I just wish they had a bird list. I have never seen a Varied Thrush - looked for them in Portland on my one free afternoon there.

Also never found a Gray Jay there. Need to go to Maine.

My best lens is not on a camera buit on myu bonocs - Zeiss 10 power that cost me a grand fifteen or more years ago. I love them. I can see colors at night.

These are great, Sue. some of my favourites too. I share your feelings about cameras.
Mine is fine for snaps, but some of the beautiful things I see each day just cannot be captured by my little digital. If only I could work on the old technology and transfer easily to computer - I still love the quality of old fashioned camera work -
That said, you have done a d*** good job on these closeups - so intimate and glorious.

It must be lovely to have a camera that can take such beautiful photographs. Always post these and more!

I love these especially the first and last one.
I don't blame you for wanting a SLR camera with a micro lens, it's on my wish list too :-)
