I have to agree with you and thankfully the lens shows you just how.. thanks. glad you like both.

An excellent macro!

Gudrun I would have to say my second love in photography but dont get out there as much as I use to. Glad you like it another wallpaper for my phone.

Hi Steve

A great macro shot of the pretty flower. We don't have these in Europe, so it is always interesting to see something new!
Sorry for lack of contact recently, I've been away on hols.

Best wishes
Peter

Since taking this the other two have come out as well. not one you would ever see a real wild flower. Glad you like it. All the best to you.

Great macro!

the lens is one of the best I own and you see the results here. all the very best from the west.

quelle adorable petite plante !!

This is a plant that lives in the harshest of environments in the world. High on the huge granite rocks of the area. they only live on the rain fall they "die" or going to Sleep mode



once the rain falls they wake up and come alive. in summer they are in hibernation or in what those of Europe would know as autumn mode. It has a bite as I found out he very first time I met the plant in the dark trying to set up the shot for the milky way. a true survivor of its environment.

The PIP is a very accurate way of how you find then in the wild in less than 60mm of soil, nothing but rock below and harsh sun above and yet it live very well.
