Sunflower

Sunflower bud, before bursting into life (June is Sunflower time so we have a little time yet).Very green, but not a bad colour in the right context! Maybe sometime in the future i´ll post the original.

 It was taken with my Canon 60mm Macro Lens.

Tomorrow i start building a hide, because Sunflowers attract Birds and Butterflies, the Birds  go for the seeds and the butterflies are courting disaster with the birds-but that´s nature.

Hopefully i can get some good wildlife shots, but no guarantees as: "The best laid plans of mice and men..........."

Anemone Stamens Macro 2011

   Anemone is a genus of about 120 species of flowering plants in the buttercup family.

My daughter Sophie planted this for me for Father´s day at her school and it   flowered today, so I thought it definitely a candidate for a macro shot.

The camera was tripod mounted and in Live View at a magnification of x5, I also used a remote trigger.

Lens: Canon EF-S 60mm Macro.
