Irene and I went for a short hike through a park we had never been to before.  It's still pretty brown out save for a few little green plants at ground level.  We did find a small patch of wildflowers so a macro of one is today's picture.

I was looking at the chrysanthemum Jennifer gave Irene as a get well gift and noticed this particular flower where an oddly shaped small petal was curved inwards towards the pollen.  I imagined that the petal drew the short straw and had the job of keeping the pollen organized.

I tried replicating the look that a cross-processed Lomo photo would have using a guide that DPS had posted.  This probably isn't the best subject for this effect, but I am definitely more pleased than not about how it ended up looking.

We probably have 15 or so different types of flowers in the apartment right now from well wishes for Irene.  The last four days I've been attempting to take great close up / macro photos of the flowers.  It has definitely turned out to be much more difficult than I thought it would be.  While it's not so challenging to get an okay flower photo... capturing one that can hold interest isn't coming so easy at the moment.

This is an uncropped photo of what I think is a Wydler's Dancing-lady orchid bud.

Well a year has past.

I was practicing with the 100mm macro at 1:1 using the macro ring light.  This is Irene's favorite from tonight and high up on my list as well.

I seem to have a love of lines at the moment.

The tulips are on their way to the trash, but I decided to use this one because I loved the way the petals had curled.  I haven't spent much time previously with attempting to black out the background, but it turned out just as I wanted.

Uncropped, hand held, and with the flash at upper right set to 1/2 power.

Valentine's Day tulips.

You could tell that flower sales were down this year because of the relatively large discounts the online stores were offering. Unfortunately, shipping always kills the deal. Especially when Valentine's Day falls on a weekend. I always choose to purchase local anyways.
