At the Heart of Flowers — Macrophotography

As spring advances, we have been thinking about what we're going to grow in our garden this year.

I like that we always mix in some colorful flowers!

Nature is magnificent. Do you ever take time to look at flowers, up and really close?

The center of a very delicate "paper poppy" we grew last summer.

The center almost looks like a fancy chocolate cake. Not sure what the flower is. Came from a package of mixed wildflower seeds.

The delicate folds of one of our roses. You can still see a few tiny dew drops.

The natural geometry of a giant sunflower.

A red poppy. You can see the actual grains of pollen caught in the afternoon sun.

Thanks for looking!
