The last of the hibiscus---

[sheltiesmama]

I don't have a dedicated macro lens so I bought some macro filters off of ebay. These are a few of the shots I've tried with them. My hibiscus bush is on it's last blooms before winter.

A hibiscus bud, tho I don't know if it will get a chance to open---



One of the last of the blooms. It was misting rain when I took this---



A closer shot of the raindrops on the same bloom---



And the leaves are finally starting to turn colors here---



Enjoy. (At least it's not my dogs lol). Comments are always welcome and appreciated.

Thank you Hayward. They are sort of my fave flower as well but only because I don't have to do anything to get them to bloom. LOL
