Perpetual flower photo thread

[speaklightly]

Over the next couple of days I would like to share with you some excellent flower close-ups from digital cameras that will surprise you. Our first photo is of a Bird of Paradise flower taken in San Pedro, Ca with a Pentax S5i. It will surprise you.

Sarah - I think this will be an interesting study from you. Looking forward to the next few. Maybe after this someone will start a Flower thread. I somerimes wonder if I take too many flowers, then I see everyone else is doing it and don't feel quite so odd.
Thanks

I feel exactly the same, now I dont feel so odd knowing that some one else thought the same

Here's one I took last year on the Oly C-740 UZ
This shows how well it works in real close up macro.
It was a Lilley from a bunch of flowers (see my Flowers on my Pic site)
which we had for my in-laws 50th WA

I am glad you see, as the others were, that I am not the only macro flower nut. I thought I was odd too, but I didn't let it bother me. I will post one or two here and add a link to my website, after I update it, its been neglected. Great shots by the way!
