Spring Flowers

The longer days and profusion of spring blossoms gladden our hearts. But photographing flowers can be among the most challenging of subjects. A friend invited me this afternoon to her glorious spread of daffodils and pink peach blossoms. I came equipped with macro gear: 105mm macro lens, extension tubes, tripod, Plamp, and cable release.

This tiny insect was barely visible to the eye, but the camera found it resting on this daffodil. The sun backlit the flower.
