Dried Flower II

Here is another macro shot of dried flower bud (probably a rose) and its pod (rose hip).

Dried Flower

This is a macro shot of a dried flower that managed to stay on the stem despite heavy snow fall and heavy rain over the winter months. I must have taken over 40 shots before I was satisfied with this one.

Flower Bug & Aphids

Last weekend I went to the Norumbega Parkway, a small parcel of garden space by Kenduskeag Stream in downtown Bangor to photograph the flowers and plants there. To my amazement, I found lots of insects and bugs in and around the plants.

In this macro shot of a flower bud, you can see two little green aphids inside it. I didn't notice the aphids until I downloaded the photo on to my laptop. If I had known they were there, I would have taken more photos and angled my camera to focus on the aphids a little more.

So have you ever taken a photo and realized the unknown details later when you saw them on your computer?
