I love Cone Flowers, they are so regal and have confidence.

First the butterfly, now the bee - this flower will have nothing left to give!

I like the way the muted sunlight casts a soft glow on this Columbine.

See the little glo-bug hiding in this flower?

This looks like an artichoke, but it's the flower blossom of a Hosta.
All these photos were taken in my postage stamp back yard with my Olympus dSLR and a very inexpensive close up lens kit. I love macro photography because it gives us the opportunity to see the small parts of our world in larger than life detail.
Our Creator is so amazingly creative.
