We have a large whiskey barrel planter in the back yard that grows parsley for the butterfly's and basil for cooking. Here's what's left of one of the basil plants.

Great macro and DOF and beautiful tones:-)
Already dried so ready for the jar;-))
Interesting shot! I need to get that macro lens!!!
I like all your photos! This macro one is excellent! Thanks for the visit and have a great weekend!
Great and sharp macro! It brings to my mind that I've managed to scratch my macro lense - ouch... I must have gone too close to some sharp object.
Have a nice weekend!
Wow, this herb makes for a wonderful photo. Impressive woody. Thanks for the tip too.
Soon many of my photos will also be of this type... great DOF with perfect detail on this one.
I just went to see your episode on how "to grow a butterfly" How great!
Martha,
Thanks! You can get the macro effect with an extender, if you don't want to spend the $$$ on a Macro lens. You can email me if you need more info.
Thanks Reader Wil!!
Marilla,
Oh no! I look forward to your macro shots for inspiration! I have gotten in the habit of using UV filters to take the beating.
Thanks Pacey!
Elmoses X, I can't wait to see your photos. I really like to experiment with the aperture using a macro lens. Take several shots with different settings and you'll be amazed!
Thérèse,
Thank you!
The butterfly's are an event we look forward to every summer. We get many Monarch and Swallowtail visitors, but no Monarch caterpillars. I have come to learn that Monarch butterfly's prefer milkweed for laying their eggs, so next summer, we're going to try having planters of Milkweed and Parsley. I'd love to watch a Monarch emerge!
