Title: Spring Blooms
Post by: Bob_B on May 21, 2023, 05:34:55 pm

Springtime flowers abound in my gardens. What better way to celebrate the season than to share a photograph of two of my favorite perennials: Eastern bee balm (Monarda bradburiana) and Salvia.

I hope you’re well and enjoying the season. Your comments and suggestions are very much appreciated.

Excellent pics! I especially love the details and that you can actually see all those little particles in the leaves. How did you do that? Did you use a powerful light source to create this contrast?
