Picture B&W: Getting intimate

June18a

Asparagus. These plants are over seven feet tall, but the flowers are tiny.

June18b

Coneflower bud. These are my favourite flowers to photograph at every stage! Processing: PW BW (full strength).

June18c

Spiderwort. We enjoy this plant! New flowers open every day at the crack of dawn. For all three pictures, I used a 3x macro filter on a 50mm lens. Love this prompt!

This is the meaning of success. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
