So, this Valentines Day my husband got me the usual…. some chocolates, two bouquets of flowers, cheese cake, and dinner..wait..you mean, you didn’t get that too?? You mean it sounds like I am bragging?? ;) Sigh…sometimes he really comes through. 
Anywhoo, I had these beautiful flowers sitting on my kitchen counter and I thought.. “wow, those are pretty awesome…I wish they weren’t going to die soon” because plants actually come to my house to die..Yeah, brown thumb betty here…So on a whim I decided that I wanted to tack on one more Valentines Day gift onto my already long list of loot and told my husband that I wanted to rent a macro lens so I could forever remember the beauty of those flowers…or maybe it was a lot less mushy, maybe I really just wanted some pretty flower pictures for my bedroom. 
So one weekend with a macro lens and some awesome flowers I now have some pretty cool flower pictures! I am pretty proud of these! So without further adu here is my flower macro debut!

Really nice! I love how you captured the underside of the flower too. That is something I would have never thought of.
oh ashley, these are gorgeous! i love the color work you’ve done in processing them, and i just adore the shot of the drop on top of the petal. wow.
These are gorgeous pictures! The way the dew drops are set out from the rest of the flower is just amazing. Just looking at them makes me feel like I am a tiny fairy sitting on the flower itself. Truly magical!
