Some inch-wide flowers produced by a large, densely branched tree at the local arboretum. Shot with a 100mm macro lens and a ring flash. The ring flash has been turned down quite a bit to serve mostly as fill light. That allows close-up shooting with good results even in harsh, direct sunlight.

Very pretty, Russ. It's nice that you had the unopened pods there as well.

A fine shot of these little beauties. Lovely clarity especially on the flower centres.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
