Very interesting, thanks MJ
Thanks, MJ.
Fantastic Macro work on all three of the plants. Very cool, thanks! Tom
Thanks, Tom. A lot most to come, though. It’s only the start of the growing season.
What an unusual plant that is. I like it.
Thanks for your comment.
Yes, very unusual indeed. Love the light and tone of the second image in particular. I don’t remember them at all (when I lived in the UK in the late 1970’s). But then I didn’t have a DSLR and my eyes peeled looking around me for wonderful photo subjects to capture.
