Fireworks
This little gem was such a surprise, all I did to get this effect was to put some yellow cellophane paper over the flash which was rotated at about a 50 degree angle and used my trusty Nikon 105mm F2.8G IF-ED AF-S VR Micro lens.

Not sure what flower this is, just one of the myriad that are growing in the back yard. As much as I love plants and flowers, I’m a shocking gardener and have a tendency to over water them
This is such a beautiful flower, I think it is called Christmas Cactus or something, correct me if I’m wrong. I absolutely love the light showing the delicacy of the petals.

Another macro shot with the contrasting colours of flower against blue sky. I love vibrancy of the colour.

My first attempt at macro photography.
This is one of the first pics I took, at the time I was looking after my terminally ill father who was completely bedridden. So I grabbed my wee point and shoot camera and scouted round the yard and saw this beautiful flower. As a result i developed a real passion for macro photography and immediately bought myself a new camera (Nikon D40) and 105mm /f2.8 macro lens.
Photography is a wonderful medium, you really do look at everyday things differently in this glorious world we live in.
