It's getting to the time of year when perrenials will start producing seeds such as the ones you see in this picture. I captured this on the CSU campus in Fort Collins, Colorado.

One of today's photos that I took at the CSU W. D. Holley Plant Environmental Research Center - Herbaceous Perennials & Ornamental Grasses Section.

Orange Crush

This is a simple shot of some marigolds that I captured at the CSU Annual Flower Trial Garden in Fort Collins, Colorado.  I used a very narrow depth of field to achieve the softness you see here.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Have a great weekend!

Wonderful Lupines

In case you like color, I thought I'd share these photos that I took of lupines at the CSU W. D. Holley Plant Environmental Research Center - Herbaceous Perennials & Ornamental Grasses Section.

Yesterday's Pics from the CSU Annual Flower Trial Garden

Here are a few pictures from yesterday's trip to the trial garden. More will follow over the next couple of days. Be sure to check back for updates!

Floral Abstracts

One of the neat things about using a macro lens is the opportunity to create some rather abstract pieces of art like the photos shown below.  I'm always amazed at the intricate beauty I find with the macro lens.


A winecup.


A tulip.


An anemone.


Mist on a winecup.


An aster.


A gazania.


A hibiscus.

Honey Bees!

Here are just a few of my favorite honey bee shots.  I captured all of these photos using an Olympus E-30 DSLR camera body and a Zuiko 50mm macro lens.
