But the stamen are yellow...



Haven't played with my macro lens in a while. I didn't want to cut the beautiful flowers off so I sat on the edge of my porch trying to catch it just right as it swayed in the gentle breeze.

Let me tell you... when you're shooting something this tiny, my own breathing can sway the camera just enough to get the focus off. It's tricky! I have so much to learn!!! This rose bush is in the shadows of my front porch but I could not risk a slow shutter speed due to the wind and didn't have a tripod (not that a tripod would help with the wind!) so I got out a ring flash (thanks, Krista!) and it did the trick perfectly, don't you think?

Enjoy your day!
