Maybe it was just that I never had a camera where I felt comfortable trying to snap macro subjects. I had to put my little Nikon Coolpix S9900 through its paces to get used to it. It seems to do a pretty good job with closeups.
Yet, I probably will never include another entry with only images of flowers, unless I happen to stumble upon some rare orchid in our travels. These are five, simple, boastful plants recently near me in New Westminster.
