Is My Nose Yellow?

My nose must be yellow from sniffing honeysuckle tonight while photographing!  I just adore the fragrance and my vine is in full bloom.  Before I realized it, I had snapped 212 images and spent an hour and a half in the garden!  I used my 100mm macro, Lensbaby 3G, Lensbaby Composer, the Lensbaby soft focus optic and various macro attachments and came away with some interesting images.  Many have an abstract feel and I paid careful attention to the background so that I would have some color from the grass or other flowers.  I have a feeling you’ll be seeing more honeysuckle images in the days to come……2 more are below.

    I think I can smell the honeysuckle on my screen…

    I like these, 1 & 2 a lot, not so much #3. We have a ridge in the backyard that is covered with honeysuckle and the fragrance in the evening is glorious. I have often thought of shooting some photos of it…now I am REALLY inspired to give it a go.

    Good stuff, Betsy!
