A few flower closeups from the front yard today

Recovering today from a heavy cold, I decided to take a few minutes outside to "experiment" with my cameras.  These are taken with the Olympus E520 and E620, with 70-300mm and 50mm lenses, a Panasonic LX5 with Raynox DCR-250 closeup lens and a Canon G9.  The panasonic is the most fun to use; it's very light, easy to hold, and focuses much quicker than my dSLRs, as both the 70-300 and 50mm do lots of hunting and frequently need to be manual focused on close subjects.

The first three were taken with the Panasonic

This next image was taken with the Canon G9

The next three were taken with the Olympus E520 and 50mm macro lens.

This final image was taken with the E-620 and 70-300mm zoom
