Because it's Summer

A rare subject nowadays for my Ipernity. Flower closeups. This taken in our garden on a very warm day to checkout my newly acquired Nikon 105mm macro lens.

It is actually the very end tip of one of our many Astilbe plants, also known as 'False goat's beard'

Enjoy full screen and beware that hot sun.

Our garden takes on a different shine with such a lens Rosa. I used to take many close ups of flowers on my old Olympus SLR but my Nikon system was never at its best for that. this lens should put things to rights. So yes, you can expect more such things form me.

Have a great week too. Herb

Yes. 39ºC today and forecast over 40ºC tomorrow. As you know, Herb they're both over the 100ºF mark. I'm old enough to think in terms of fahrenheit for the heat but, like many, I switch to centigrade (or is it celsius) for the cold in winter!
