I Heart Macro Poppin Poppy!

I caught this huge Poppy bud right after it started popping, then another shot the next day.

These photos were taken with a 18-55mm lens and a 20mm or 36mm extension tube.




I lost track of this Poppy as it opened the rest of the way, but here is another one that I actually photograghed a week or so before. This one was just opening and you could see the inside which is so cool!



Below is a bonus shot, some kind of berry that grows around a stump in our yard.
Anybody know what it is?

    Stunning shots! The poppies look like crumpled tissue paper. I don't know what the berry is but it's a gorgeous shade of yellow!

    Amazing! They remind me of cactus blossoms! How cool to catch them at that stage! Great photos, Kristi.

    The little budding poppies look so fragile. Lovely details.

    I just love the red frills coming out of that blooming poppy pod. It almost looks like Carmen Miranda herself will emerge from it! Beautiful!

    Wow Kristi - what fabulous shots. The orange with the contrasting green, and a slip of cream/white - just wonderful.
