ron_co2002: We went for a walk before lunch Christmas day - I am here to tell you going down the hill is a lot easier than coming back up- this is one of the few flowers I found -Tamron 90mm macro- Pentax K10-a grass trigger plant
ron_co2002: While trying to see the mini frogs in the mud near the pond I discovered these flowers- again so small I had not noticed them before - less than 5 mm across
ron_co2002: from a distance this small flowering bush looks very nondescript but it is worth looking at more closely -800 ISO
ron_co2002: This shows some of the intricate detail of what looks like a very plain and simple white flower from a distance - quite beautiful to my eyes
ron_co2002: These white blossoms were absolutely swarming with life when one looks closely at them 800 ISO -1/350th at f8
ron_co2002: A close up of the red berries - there is another bush down the valley with purple berries- these are approx 5 mm in diameter
ron_co2002: Unti lthe last few weeks these small bushes blended in with all the other green plants- then they produced these red berries
