Hibiscus

You may have noticed I love taking photos but these days I don’t have pets or young children (like my nephews) to take photos of (although they aren’t young children anymore) so flowers seem to be my thing. It helps that I’m an aromatherapist so love doing the macro photos and seeing the weenie hairs on stems, leaves, stamen etc.

For these flowers, the attraction was trying to get all of that and the ants that were exploring them.

Unfortunately ants don’t know about Cecil B DeMille and to stop still for close ups, so I had to do the best I could.
