I have noticed that the butterflies and bumble bees seem to be as fond of the honeysuckle as I am.  Here are a few more images from my adventure in the garden the other night.

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.

Just fooling around with the Lensbaby 3G and this flower in my garden that I haven’t yet identified.  Anybody know what it is?

Buttercups and Dandelions are proof that weeds are worth photographing.  Some folks spend many hours trying to rid their garden of dandelions and I say, “let them grow” because I enjoy photographing them!   I found these last week when I was in the garden planting my new flower bulbs…all 100 of them.  So far the chippies or squirrels have confiscated 2 or 3 of the bulbs, but the rest seem to be intact.  Don’t tell the critters where I planted them, okay?!  🙂

You just never know where flower seeds will end up on a breezy day!
