Macro blossoms…and some visitors.

Posted on April 27, 2015 by Full Of Daisies

Remember that time we skipped the city to see cherry trees in flower? Well, ok, it was last week and I published a post about it yesterday, but … who knows, if your memory is as short as mine, you might need some help!

Anyway, when we stopped to have our picnic – a smart idea, as it turns out, because all bars and restaurants were completely full and some had even run out of food (!) – I got out my macro lens and tried to take some photos of the flowers. I took loads, but a sit happens all cherry flowers look the same. And taking a photo of the bees and other pollinators was virtually impossible: they flew around at fifty zillion miles per hour and by the time I found one, carefully stepped closer, tried to inch the lens as close as possible and focus, they were on their way to another flower. Arg!

Here’s what I managed.
