A single flower spike is captured against a tulip leaf with natural light casting a shadow. Processed with a hint a watercolor paint.
Muscari is a genus of perennial bulbous plants native to Eurasia that produce spikes of dense, most commonly blue, urn-shaped flowers resembling bunches of grapes in the spring. The common name for the genus is Grape Hyacinth (a name which is also used for the genera Leopoldia and Pseudomuscari). Another common name is Baby's Breath, although this is also used for other plants, particularly Gypsophila. A number of species of Muscari are used as ornamental garden plants.

I appreciate your comment Thomas, I try hard to make what I have now, work. I'm so elated to have been given this tool/camera. I often wonder, when I finally GET a real camera, what will I produce?

Chris I sure do love your macro photos. They are some of the best macro shots I have ever seen. It is amazing considering the camera that you are using. Keep up this excellent work. Hope that you are doing better. Keep in touch.
