One of my favorite subjects and styles, here is a collection of some of my macro and close up photography of nature

Wait No More
Lesser celandine wildflowers are some of the first to appear during the Spring, which has started and stalled many times in the last few weeks. These hearty yellow flowers have waited long enough and are now populating yards and fields throughout Southeast Pennsylvania. Tyler State Park, Newtown PA-USA.
New England Aster
A macro shot of what I believe is a New England Aster, growing wild in early Autumn. It was the top flower of a cluster of unopened buds.Powerline Trail Horsham, PA-US
Feathers of a Bird
Handheld macro of a yellow feather found on a hike, held up to the sky to be backlit by the sun.
Inter Dimensional
A close up of a Fig Buttercup seems to occupy another dimension, with the sun lighting up the petals against an dark background spotted with bokeh from other flowers.
Descent
Close up of a bright hibiscus flower.
October Light
Group of mushrooms on a rotting log with Autumn colors shining through the leaves in the background.
Close up of White Chrysanthemum Flower
Close up of white chrysanthemum flower with bright sunlight lighting the petals. This was in a vase on our window sill, and just radiated the strong sunlight that shined into the house.
April Blooms
Pink blossoms on a cherry tree branch stand out against the blue sky. Spring has come to Southeast Pennsylvania after a seeming endless winter. Core Creek Park, Middletown Township, PA-US
Black Sunshine
Macro of a wild daisy in the sun. The first of a series of plants in black and white.
Wild Daisy
Wild Daisy on a late spring overcast day. Horsham PA-USA
Depleted Dandelion: Black Sunshine VII
Macro of a dandelion which had given all it had to the mission of propagation. Seventh of the Black Sunshine series, which features monotone macro photos of wildflowers and weeds shot in their native outdoor environment.
Cherry Blossom Sky
Cherry tree in the throes of Spring.
Bloodroot
Sanguinaria canadensis, known as bloodroot, is a perennial, herbaceous flowering plant native to eastern North America. Tough going for wildflowers so far this year, as we have had temperature swings of 40 degrees fahrenheit from day to day. This was taken on an 85 degree day, and 24 hours later we had temperatures in the 30's with high winds. March did not go out like a lamb this year. Tyler State {ark, Newtown, PA-USA.
Spring Flower Rising
A tiny Spring Beauty flower arises from the dirt. These tiny white and pink flowers usually dot the landscape in Spring in patches, and I caught this one on its way to blooming. Tyler State Park, Newtown PA-US
Dandelion Mono: Black Sunshine II
Macro of a dandelion in the sun. The second of a series of plants in black and white.
Golden Days
Some wet grass after a rainstorm, catching the sunset.
Micro Sun Flower
Surface of the Sun
Macro of an autumn leaf backlit by the sun. It looks like the surface of the sun. Shot @ Windlestrae Park, North Wales, PA-US on a brisk autumn day.
Summer Leaf
A close macro of a colorful leaf with some drops from a rain shower.
Bloom
This was the top of a tiny 'weed' that was growing in a field. Using a macro extension tube revealed tiny flowers soon to bloom. Shot @ Carl Kohler Park in Horsham, PA-US.
Black Eyed Susan Cluster
A cluster of Black Eyed Susans catch the late day sun with some New England Asters in the background. Pennypack Trust, Huntingdon Valley, PA-US.
Sawtooth Blackberry: Black Sunshine III
A wildflower which I believe to be Sawtooth Blackberry, shot in the mid day sun. Part of the Black Sunshine series in black and white.
Pear Tree Blossoms in Spring
Close up of the white blossoms of a pear tree in early Spring, lit by the setting sun. The bloom of tree blossoms was intense and brief this year, most of the flowers were gone within three days. But those days were sunny and nice, as I took advantage and have a load of photos to go through over the next few weeks. Tyler State Park, Newtown, PA-US
Purple Zinnia
Close up of a purple Zinnia growing wild in a meadow. The near symmetry of the petal arrangement of the flower is offset by the lone yellow stamen, which made this slightly more interesting for me. Tyler State Park, Newtown PA-US
