I have been inspired by another photographer friend to try macro photography. I have always been a portrait photographer but have an artsy side to me as well. Some of this shows in my portrait work where I am able to be a little creative, but I want to try my hand at a fine art type of photography. I have some gardens that I am working at since I tend to have a green thumb, it is a work in progress for me....but after all the rain we have had here in NH, the flowers have been flourishing. Half a dozen bug bites later after a passing shower, I took this photo. This is my first attempt at macro photography. I hope to continue not only with the gardening but with the flower photography as well.
