These are all shot using the macro ability of a Panasonic Lumix F200; most at the extreme end of the digital zoom range. None of the images has been edited, though two have been cropped (the honey bee and humming-bird moth images.)
My favorite is probably the image of the forget-me-not with a drop of water hanging from it. These flowers are tiny, about 1/4″ across, and I was about 6 feet from it to get this image.
Thanks to your generosity, we were able to upgrade our service plan. Hopefully this will help us address some of our performance issues.

This is a really nice thing to find on Friday afternoon. Thank you!Report
Thank you. It was a really nice thing to discover my camera can take these kinds of photos. Yay camera!Report
Petal porn. My Mum would love it and I do too.Report
So beautiful–both the photos and the intricacies of the flowers themselves.Report
Beautiful, zic. Nect time–and yes I’m requesting a next time–could you add flower names for the more ignorant among us (that is, me)?Report
Thank you.
Flower name (from the top down)
1. Tea rose with aphids;
2. Rugosa Rose with honey bee;
3. Yellow Iris (wild, called Yellow Flag) with dragon fly and snail;
4 and 5: yellow flag detail;
6. White wild-pond lily with flies;
7. Unknown with spider web — I’m trying to ID this wild flower; I believe it’s a carnivorous flower that digests insects;
8. Peony heart
9. Poppy Heart
10. Oriental Poppy heart;
11. Siberian Iris detail;
12. Shasta daisy heart — notice the way it’s packed in a fibonacci sequence, with insect grubs;
13. Forget Me Not with water droplet reflecting the sky line;
14. Colorado columbine with water drops;
15. Penstemon, aka perennial fox glove;
16. Cranesbill geranium;
17. Peony petal detail;
18. Penstemon flower spike including flower heart and buds packed in a fibonacci sequence with small spider;
19. Foxglove (digitalis), blossom hairs
20. Stella Dora Daylily with wasp;
21 and 22: unknown garden flower, 14 is an extreme closeup of the heart;
23. Virginia bluebells, extreme closeup of petal hairs;
24. Dianthus (carnation), unknown variety;
25. Colorado columbine;
26 and 27: Siberian Iris and hummingbird moth; these are the same photograph;
28. Icelandic poppy and wasp
And you can click on the pictures and get full-sized images to scroll around; I was totally blown away by the fuzziness of seeming smooth flowers.Report
“Nect time” – heh heh.
And, though I have nothing intelligent to say, the photos are lovely!Report
I set up a tumblr, greenwoodroad.
(This was much easier then a wordpress blog, btw.)
Thank you for the encouragement.Report
Very nice photos @zic been enjoying your posts on FB as wellReport
@zic and it looks like you live in an absolutely beautiful areaReport
Wonderful stuff.Report
I have no words today, my dismay at our highest court knows no bounds. So I thought you might like to see some fowl to soothe your spirit, too.

And a favor, if anybody who bothers to look has a disqus ID, drop a fowl comment so that I can see if that works; there were some issues (like it was in French, for starters. . . )Report

find it in google. I found it on 19 spot, you should focus on quality backlinks building, it will help you to increase traffic.
And i know how to help you, just search in google
