Macro flower photography from a walk in the park
A few weeks away can make a surprising difference in a garden, or in this case, a local park. Before I left town for nearly three weeks, no flowers had begun to bloom, however, when I returned, the landscape had transformed into a colorful display of summer blossoms.
On a recent walk through the park, I brought along my macro lens to take a closer look at some of the flowers that had appeared while I was gone. It was a wonderful welcome home, and a reminder of how quickly nature changes when you're not looking.
Below are a few of my favorite close-up images from that walk.
