You know I can’t resist macro shots of flowers!!
These are all the same plant at various stages. I’ve included the shot where I’m holding the blossom just to show you the size.
For The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Close Up.
And for Lucile’s Photo101 Rehab Clinic.

even in its last stages, it’s pretty. i like how the stamens? pistals? turn deep pink.

Beautiful shots, macro is something I have still not really tried, need a new lens or some extension tubes…

Your macros are unbeatable. The Macro Empress! And you shoot manual and without a tripod. Impressive.

LOL. I’m a sucker for punishment as my mum would say. Manual is just second nature now. But the tripod, that’s my own fault, I was just too lazy to bring it 😋
Thank you so much Dear Queen x.

I’m not sure to have added these to the wrap up. Maybe they were not in the link. Will check. Sorry about that. Ping backs are not perfect neither am I! 😦

No worries. I added a bunch of new links last night so it was probably me forgetting to add them.
