Marigold Center

I love discovering what flowers have hidden in plain sight.

*****THANK YOU FOR VISITING ANITA'S PHOTOBLOG!*****
I welcome your honest critique, especially if they will improve my photography.
If I have made a mistake in a flower identification, please let me know!
A few words about the EXIF data, beginning in April when I began using Nikon D300 and the Sigma 105mm macro: My new camera and macro lens record the relative or effective f stop, not the one seen on the lens. For an explanation of this, go to the next to the last question at this site.

Man!Instead of "Anita's Photoblog" you might as well name this "Anita's heavenly gardens"!
A collection of delicious Macros. Nice Job!

@Maben Robin: I like your suggestion for the name of my blog. :-) When I began this photoblog, I didn't know I was going to get so focused on flowers. Thank you for visiting and I'm glad you enjoyed the flowers.

Great angle and close-up shot. Beautiful range of colors and tones in this flower. You always manage to create a new and unique macro flower composition Anita.
