You must have had a great time collecting these - they are all wonderful! I loved the aster flower with the crisp little tendrils. Excellent shooting!

Your unique eye strikes again : )

My hosta is *not* wilting in such an arty fashion...
I like the last one too -- ??
Echinacea/Coneflower? Somethin' ?

Hi joebono - I used my Panasonic Lumix point and shoot for these, but if you rifle through my past entries - or visit musingsfromdave.blogspot.com for the real deal blog (which has been cross posted here for the past several months) you'll see a ton of photos I've taken with a macro lens. Well, sorta macro, 85mm.

Kim - yes, it's an elusive little bugger, but if you sneak up on it quietly, you can sometime catch it.

Miguela - thank you!

S.Shutterbug - they are. It is good to be reminded of this.
