Just playing with my Lensbaby and some textures on this rainy Saturday afternoon. This image began with a Lensbaby macro shot of a white coneflower converted to black and white with Nik software. Then a purple texture was added and finally a design texture on top.

Just when you think that summer is coming to an end, a bright pink flower appears in the garden for the first bloom of the season! I don’t know the name of these, but they look like miniature lilies and bloom in mid-August. They are definitely worth waiting all season to see. This is a very abstract version photographed with the Lensbaby 3G.

I love this perennial grass that I planted in my garden last month. It has beautiful purple and white feathery plumes. I photographed it this evening with the Lensbaby 3G and a soft focus filter. LOVE this effect and the rainbow of color as a result of some day lilies in the background.

My very favorite lens for macro flower photography is the Lensbaby. I still love the 3G model with the macro attachments and soft focus filter for nature photos. What this lens can do to soften the background is amazing! Thank you Jim and Michelle for letting me “borrow” your coneflowers!

Why is there a part of me that still believes I can go out in the yard to photograph and not be eaten alive by bugs? You would think I’d have learned by now that it’s not humanly possible!
