Most everything around my yard is dried up and dead. Not that that doesn't make for some good outdoor macro pictures. But recently I drove to Tower Hill Botanic Gardens to see if I could get some flowering plants. There will soon be some beautiful flowering plants inside, but I wanted to see what I could find in the outdoor gardens.
I did find some flowering plants, but also plenty of dead stuff. The images below are a mix.
I used my recently acquired Panasonic 70-200mm-equivalent F2.8 zoom (due to the Olympus/Panasonic 2x crop factor it is actually a 35-100 zoom) and added the Canon 500D closeup lens. With this add-on, all the focusing is done at about 20" from the subject and the zoom is used to compose. All are at F2.8.
