As anybody who’s tried to hike a trail with me while I’ve got a camera in my hands can attest, I have something of a thing for flower macros. I love the tiny detail and colors found in flowers, and I love that even if you’re in a location that’s not the best candidate for sweeping landscapes you can often pull off to the side of the road and hunt around in the ditch for interesting pictures. An added bonus is that flowers hold still for portraits…
Signal Mountain Columbine
Shortly after getting my D70, I bought my 60mm Macro lens. I debated long and hard about whether to purchase it or not, but after purchasing it it quickly became my favorite lens. Many of the pictures I’m most proud of were taken with that lens. It’s a bit short for taking photos of small critters, but flowers don’t mind if you get close.
Maligne Canyon Flowers
Over the course of the past couple of years, I’ve posted a “Friday Flower” for some of my friends and family to view. Although my posting was pretty erratic (big surprise) I rather enjoyed doing it. However, updating the static page became a pain, so I kind of slacked off.
Cone Flower
I’m trying to sweep all of the old cruft out of my website, which means removing the older static pages. So I thought I’d repost some of my favorites here. Looking through these was a nice respite from the cold, snowy crap outside for me. Hope you enjoy them.

I wish I knew what these were
