I was taking some photos of these pink blooms in the backyard one spring morning and noticed something really interesting - an alternative view through the magical lens of a water drop. 

The macro capability on these little compact cameras is incredible, and forgiving my purist ways, certainly not something I would feel worth attempting on film (yes, there is a beauty to shooting it over, and over, and over, and over again without cost other than time).  See what you think of the results. 

Clicking on a photo will open the uncropped, full-size, and "uncorrected" computer graphic in a new window. (It may take some time to open, depending on your connection speed.)  Close the window to return to this page.

Enjoy.......
