| We has a good downpour today so I took the camera out after to see what was looking good for a close up. My white zinnias that I have grown from seed are just showing signs of blooming. I like seedheads and buds as much as I like the flowe bloom. There is a lot of detail in a macro shot of an emerging bloom. Look at the edge of the sepals with the dark colouration. Then the petals emerge and the stamens are just a white fluff inside. |

| This photo shows the bud looking similar to SpiderMan with the dark edges on the sepals hugging the bud tightly. |

| Just as I was walking on the deck I noticed on the edge of the licorise vine a dragonfly. I identified him as a red-veined meadowhawk or sympetrum madidum. I could be wrong as he is not supposed to be here but he sure looks like the picture so I will go out on a limb. I am posting to Macro Saturday and Camera Critters. Have a great long weekend.
