Brookside Gardens Macro – March 2022 (1)
/Brookside Gardens was beginning to emerge from winter when I went last week. I already posted the non-macro pictures from my visit. Today and tomorrow, I’ll share the macro images I collected with my phone, clip-on lens, and Bluetooth clicker.
The crocuses were up and worth bending over for a macro view.
The yew hedge was mostly green but there were a few dead branches that made for some contrast.
The bark on the large crepe myrtles in the Rose Garden was full of splits…and held moss too.
There was a cherry tree beginning to bloom in the Fragrance Garden. The flowers were pink and white…the buds very pink.
The snow drops and miniature iris were on a bank which made them easier to photograph – I didn’t have to bend down as much because the soil was sloped!
Compare the inside of the flowers: Lenten rose and (red) camellias.
The ferns damaged by frosts were interesting at both magnifications I tried.
Last but not least for today – a ginkgo leaf that had folded up as it dried over the winter….a little abstract art of nature.
Tomorrow…the rest of the macro pictures from my walk at Brookside.
