Red Gazania

After incorrectly identifying a flower the other day I was especially careful to research today's' specimen to avoid any embarrassment. 

It is, I can confidently say a Red Gazania. Photographing red flowers is quite tricky because it can be difficult to get a true representation of the colour but I think I got this one spot on.

The second shot was a bit of a bonus as I had focused in on the centre of the flower to pick out the detail in the heart of the flower and I hadn't noticed the aphid at first but I am quite plesed that I captured the little critter, it gives a sense of scale as well as being a cool shot.

Californian Poppy

I really love the colour of these Californian Poppies and I love getting close up to see the finer details. I hope you like it too...

The detail we often miss...

I love these pictures, the detail is incredible and without the benefit of a macro lens it would be difficult to get such a close up image as these.

Tomorrow I will post pictures of the flowers these are from.  In the meantime if you feel like trying to guess what the flowers are please feel free.  or if you have any other comments please share them below, I love getting feedback.
