Oh, Patrick. Be still my beating heart. You have GOT to get a micro lens, and BTW, isn't Father's Day coming up soon? Love them all but I think I have told you that we don't have many blue flowers in the desert so my eye is just delighted by the blue one!

Three tremendous pictures with the primary colours of red, blue and yellow, surely never seen better presented than here, however, my primary vote goes to the final picture where I'm drawn to intricacies of the bulb/ petal/ leaf formations

You've been having way too much fun with that lens Patrick. It may be time for you to get one? Great shots, very colorful and good focus.

All of those are very nice ! I love the last one... the colors, the details on the flower and the crispness of your shot ... all just perfect

Go for the tubes, you can get a decent set for about $200 and they don't do a bad job. I have fun with mine anyways

Best lens is one that can be freely borrowed.

Very nice series. I like the 2nd one best.
