Flower macros

I feel like I have been blogging a lot of flower close-ups lately.  I did not realize how many I had taken until I started to put them all together.  They do say flowers are the most photographed subject.  I know for me it was the excitement of a new macro lens, the bright colors, and the fact that flowers don't move away from you while you spend 10 minutes fiddling with tripods and camera settings.

So, here are a few miscellaneous flower macros and then I promise I'll put up pictures of something else.
