Summer Flowers

Last week I got a new macro lens for my camera. While we were at the Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park, I tried playing around with the new lens by taking some photos of the summer flowers there. Here are a few of my favorites from the initial round of experimentation. The shot of the bee in flight was just sheer luck. I was trying to get it on the flower and missed. You can look at all the flower shots in a Flickr set here. Click on the image to see a larger view.

Nice shots, Earl! Beautiful.

Glad to see you've hit the "big time." ... everything's so big when viewed macro.

Really enjoy your floral/garden photography. You're welcome to take pictures in our garden any time. My favorite daylily "Spellbinder" is just starting to bloom.

michele -- thanks for the comment. I was just asking Bill S. about you and John the other day. Been meaning to send a note.
