Wild Petunia (Abstract).

[jfoureyes]

I got this at Brazos Bend SP last week. The wild petunias patches are common this time of year. I got real close with a 105 and caught this real tiny bug come out from inside the bloom. This is about 45% crop of the original photo.

Very out of the box. I like it. I've seen these little bugs and they are tiny little buggers. I can't even see them with my poor aging eyes without the magnification of the lens.

Terry to tell the truth I thought it was pollen until it moved a little and they are very tiny about 1/32 inch long. I shot ten frames in manual focus and this is the only one that was even close to what I wanted… thank goodness for digital! And I’m in the same boat as you as far as seeing tiny stuff. Thanks for the reply!

Scott you’ll have to come on down… it’s a nature photographer’s paradise! The only thing is that since I retired my wife has me captured on weekends but Monday thru Thursday are all mine to go out and play all I want at BBSP. Thanks for the comment!
