These are about the size of a dime and all over our front yard---smell good too. Love the wildflowers.
Even this little bouquet is only about the size of a dime.
Isn't nature great!

You've got cool looking flowers in your front yard!!! Send seeds!BMG - 3-1-2009 at 12:57 PM
As I get older and more interested in discovering the beauty of nature, my eyesight goes and often I can't see things that are so beautiful right in
front of me. Close-up photos really help. It's amazing that such tiny flowers can be so pretty.Natalie Ann - 3-1-2009 at 01:37 PM
I love those flowers little lavendar pink flower clusters, Diane. Would like to photograph some myself... but after the shot it's waaaaay too
difficult standing up again.
Thanks for doing that for me.

Well, I not only put a towel down, I wear home depot knee pads to protect my old misrable knees, and I often have a step stool to help me in getting
up!
I still have to yell help sometimes---good thing John is around.
Longlegs, could send you some seed, but then you need rain. Some of these flowers will not grow with other water---they have to have rain!
BMG---I also think it is amazing that tiny flowers are so pretty, and they are prettier magnified for many of us.

really cute and pretty! Thanks.BornFisher - 3-1-2009 at 09:11 PM
They are beautiful! Thanks for the pics!
Stumbled across some "Shooting Stars" in bloom today (San Diego).
One had four flowers with two more blossoms. Sometimes it`s the little things that matter!!Lauriboats - 3-1-2009 at 09:21 PM
Diane,
Great pictures, are there any out front of my place? For some reason you seem to have all of the cool wild flowers. LauriKen Bondy - 3-1-2009 at 09:25 PM
Beautiful Diane!!bacquito - 3-2-2009 at 07:56 AM
Really pretty flowers!! Thanks for posting them. I too am at a stage when it has become more difficult to bend. Your photos were enjoyable and I did
not have to bend!!bajajudy - 3-2-2009 at 08:32 AM
Gorgeous
Thanks, DianeDianaT - 3-2-2009 at 10:49 AM
Thanks for the nice comments--makes the effort to get back up off the ground worth it.
Laurie, they are beginning to come up in front of your place, but it will take a while because of the construction work, and if Armando will quit
driving up in front of your place!

Thanks Igor and Rick.
A macro lens is still on my wish list---I like macro shots. This one I too with my 70-200 f 2/8 lens with the addition of an extension tube---a
dedicated macro lens would make it a lot easier---$$$$

I've always liked shooting stars. They herald the arrival of spring in my neck of the woods. I'll bet the central valley is full of them right now.
They show up at about the same time as poppies but are less celebrated. We've had a lot of spring rain this year. This could be a good year for
flowers.astrobaja - 3-7-2009 at 06:32 PM
Love the macro flower pics, here in the sierra the little blooms are just starting. Saw these tiny ones this am with a honey bee and bright red
pollen. Theres really small white flowers here the size of a large pinhead too.
