Under the Blade

Surprising what the lawnmower misses. Found these beauties this afternoon. Killed some time photographing them.

Unknown tiny flower, looks like miniature mint or basil, but I have no idea what it is. The flower itself is disconnected from its base and upside down. The whole plant is about 1 inch high. (OM 90mm macro + 25mm extension tube)

Anyway...kind of a lazy day today with threatening T-storms, so I stayed close. Maybe tomorrow I'll head out to the larger world.

I just found out what that one is, MA, it's corn speedwell, a member of the snap dragon family. Photographed some that were blooming today, still processing. I love tiny, nearly invisible stuff.

Amazing. Doesn't look much like a Snap Dragon. At least not like the ones we put on our fingers as kids.

Beautiful pics with a nice DOF. Really like the Speedwell, (Veronica), pic a lot. (Just hate them in my pasture).
