April showers bring May flowers… and April Wildflowers…

We’ve had a great deal of rain, but even better, a great deal of wildflowers…

Wildflowers

These little dudes are about as big as your thumbnail.   You cannot see the blue hair or that the yellow tips of the stamins look like miniature flowers themselves.  Definitely some macro work…

More Wildflowers

The trick was not in getting the shots, but in waiting for the wind to die down.

The macros were shot on a cloudy day and the shutter exposure was fairly long for the lens.

Wildflowers

These shots are amazing printed at 13″ x 19″ …

Wildflowers

I really enjoy shooting flowers, and the local wildflowers are just spectacular.  I hope to get out a bit more often on no-wind days and get some more shots…
