Backyard Garden

There is something very satisfying in photographing flowers that I planted and nurtured in my own yard.  It's like eating homegrown vegetables; the taste is so much fresher and sweeter.  All of these were taken with a Nikon 105 macro lens on a Nikon D700 camera. 

 This little flower is only about an inch & a half in diameter.

 My first serious attempt at capturing a reflection in a water drop.  I got the drop, but not the reflection.  I think I know what I need to do next time.  Stay tuned for further developments.
