Zooming - June 2014

The best way to describe the vegetation right now in June is LUSH. It was hard to choose the images to clip for this month’s zooming post. Sometimes zoomed images are easy to identify.

I followed a bee around trying to get zoomed images in focus and the bee in an interesting position….then clipped out the part of the image with the bee!

Starting at the top left and moving around the collage clockwise - the center of a wild rose, a wood hydrangea flower and buds, and the flower of a cocoa tree (the last one was in the Brookside Gardens conservatory).

I could not resist giving the tiny sycamore leaf a space of its very own! By the end of summer this leave that is only half an inch wide now will be over a foot!

Starting on the left - the bloom of an elephant ear plant, a dahlia, and the back of a zucchini squash leaf.

Starting on the left - red butter lettuce, some tiny insects in a line on a squash blossom and the glowing squash blossom in morning light.
