Yet Again - Flower Macros

The first image is the inside of a Magnolia bloom. Note the small midge crawling about. Flowers are nice. Midges are irritating.

The second image is a blue-yellow bicolour Primula.

The third is a cluster of cherry blossoms about to open fully. This image is one of a very few I have used a diffused flash for.

The fourth image is of the centre of a "Paper-White" Narcissus.

More Spring Flower Abstracts

Here are a few more maros shots of flowers with an abstract bent.

The first is of Magnolia petals.

The second is a white Magnolia.

The third is a flower that I have forgotten the name of. Help appreciated if anyone knows.

The fourth is a Scilla (also called a Wild Hyacinth by some).

All were sot using a Raynox DCR250 closeup lense on the FZ30.

While Waiting For Spring- Some Blue Detroit Flowers

Spring is being postponed again here. There is more snow in the forecast but this will come down as slop - neither rain nor snow - just messy. So in the meantime, here are some Detroit flowers: old cars lovingly restored and/or customized from a cruise night last summer here in Grimsby.

The first five are of Fords. The last two are of a Durant.

And the theme within the theme today is "blue".
