It was a sunny day and flowers had started blooming so two weeks
ago I biked to the Botanic Gardens in Glencoe to see if there were
any unique or colorful plants that I could take macro photos of. Other people
got the same idea and it seemed as if half the people there
were looking to get prime first-of-the-season spring botany photos
as well. The crowd of half loner nature photographs and half families was
sort of awkward, but it was a beautiful day and I didn't hear anybody complain.

These photos were taken with a super macro lens-- which is more of a
lens extension than a lens-- and a few macro filters, which allow my camera
to focus much closer to a subject than it originally could. I have other
photos that work better as pieces of macro photography, but I really like
the colors, the detail, and the shadows in these two (and the beetle, which
I didn't even notice was there).
