Sometimes you just want to get closer

I probably should be writing about Teddy. I’ve been working with him for a while and he’s an interesting dog. But I don’t have the energy at the moment. Plus, I think we may be on the cusp of a significant accomplishment. I hope. So more to come on this boy.

I did, however, feel the garden beckoning late this afternoon. I have been using one lens a lot lately and felt an urge to get closer to the subject so I pulled out the macro.

There were some new roses to shoot.

And some irises. The iris was one of my Mom’s favorite flowers so I always included them in her bouquets. I like them too.

Plus some others whose names I have forgotten.

I benefit greatly from living close to Homeward Bound. This allows me to shoot in the garden in the late afternoon/evening when the light is better. Today I was blessed with perfect light.
