I picked up my brothers Canon camera after some time and I thought I would first try to photograph some close-ups of the many pretty flowers growing around. I was happily taking photos until I saw them on the computer now, not one came out the way I meant :) I guess the lenses need some cleaning, again. Or I forgot how to handle the camera, which wouldn't be surprising :)

But no matter, I'm still happy with what I got. Here are just some of the better ones.

I took a quite lot of photos of this one, then a bee came by and I took some more, but the focus is still nowhere where I want. It would help if the bee would hold still :) It's got so much pollen on itself, it would be nice to see it more clearly.

A beautiful pink rose, quite a large flower actually, it grows for many years already. It's a good photo, just some more detail wouldn't hurt :)

And I actually quite like this photo, more abstract looking. In reality it's a very nice ball-like flower with awesome color. Too bad most of it is blurry :)

Well, next time it'll be better. I just need to check them out on the computer sooner, hehe.

This is my entry for Hive account@juliank's #macrophotography contest, and the first photo could go into today's #colorchallenge.

Hope you're having a nice day, and continue to do so.
