Those are some really nice macro shots. Love the colors. The walk was well worth it.

Another great selection Ian, I particularly like the daisey, pin sharp focus and fantastic shape.
I also like the final one, the thistle/weed. We have these here, or very similar, and I think it was some of these you photographed in front of our weathered wooden gate. Even if it wasn't it doesn't matter, its a great picture.
Good job

Great work Ian. It's a beautiful set... I really like the first one. Beautiful image. The sunight from behind really sets it apart. Way to go buddy.

Ian, isn't it just amazing the things we can find in a simple walk. The one thing I really love about this hobby is that I think it helps us to appreciate life more. Very nice set!

Buddy, I almost missed the Daisy, I was planning to hop a fence for a short cut, re-thought because of maybe dropping the camera and there it was .. the dry thistle thing is the very same weed .. i love how it keeps popping up between us ..

you've got that spot on FTBOAH .. I have always appreciated nature, but now I actually see it everywhere .. I truly can go out (or in) anymore without seeing in camera view .. addictive ..

Hi Jack, at last I am home. This set was certainly worth the wait buddy. The detail in all of these captures is awesome. They are all so good, but the daisy take the prize for me, it just pops from the brilliant background. Stunning work buddy and I hope you enjoyed the steak. My mouth was watering.

Jake.
