These are shots from my flower garden, the first being a geranium of the Cranesbill geranium type.  The flower is actually about 1 to   1-1/2 inches in diameter.

Here are more and keep in mind that these flowers are only beginning their summer growth, but this wonderful macro lens makes them look spectacular already!

There will be plenty more floral shots coming as the summer months progress.  See what’s in my garden!

Thanks for looking!
