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.

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

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
