Someone a few houses away from mine planted a very colorful garden. A few days ago I stopped by to take some photos.

It was raining and a solitary flower had bloomed in anticipation of a spring that ended up being delayed by a sudden cold front and snow just before the first day of spring. I went out with my macro lens and the ring flash mom got me recently for Christmas.

A trio of flower macros I shot in April:

In this Photojojo photo time capsule, some 365 and some photos from my Delaware trip.

I wanted to share some of my latest flower macro photos.

I can’t believe how intense the colors were on these flowers outside the US Botanical Garden in DC.
