Macro Monday: Strolling the Garden

Written by Jackie D'Elia  |  Published on May 23, 2011

Strolling around the garden with my camera. The fence on the west side of the garden is blooming with trumpet vines. I haven’t seen a lot of butterflies this spring and I am not sure why. Could it be the drought? or the large number of wasps patrolling the gardens looking for caterpillars? I’ve seen a few Monarchs and Swallowtails.

Raindrop on Roses (last week)
We still need more rain here….

    we don´t have that kind of butterflies so it is nice to see it.
    I also like the last shot with the little waterdrop in the pipe.

    These are terrific macro shots – wonderful details. The selective focus and timing in the last photo is fantastic.
