Looked deep into the heart of a marigold....
and been amazed by what you have found?
Have you ever noticed how this.....
turns into this?
The humble marigold,
beautiful from every angle,
becomes pure gold in the setting sun.....
Fresh revelations for me as I grow my own for the first time. Have you ever?

You have perfectly captured what I love about macro photography, and what makes me fall down in wonder before such a creator! Really, your photos are amazingly done! Beautiful work. Jeanne
No I have never - but now it feels like I have. Thanks for sharing - beautiful! :-)
Also, just looked at a picture of all of your kiddos on fathers day, and they are beautiful!, and one of your little girls in a black curly wig at dress up time. Had a problem commenting, but wanted to say that these children are your amazing flowers. Wonderful family, Jeanne
These are really wonderful..... the colors are so FANTASTIC.
greetings, Joop
Wunderschöne Macros...

I love macro because it looks like you can go right inside the lives of plants or other things and discover a brand new world - You did it so well and the colours are amazing!
Thank you for sharing such beautiful shots always.
What beautiful photos of marigolds!! As always awesome angles and gorgeous macros!
I love how macro photos capture the tiny details unseen by the human eye. No matter how many photos I take, I am still in awe of God's creation.
So beautiful.
I had initially set up word verification on my blog, after being regularly spammed. I've turned it off now and I'll see how it goes. :)
yes I have and these wonderful images show it so well !
wish you a lovely weekend
Your images are stunning. What a stunning color, so lovely and rich.
Your photos are stunningly gorgeous. Yes I have looked into a heart of a Marigold and I thank you for allowing me to do it once more. Well done!
Marigolds--one of my favorites. They are so hardy, bloom profusely, and are gorgeous. Lovely captures of them--that first macro shot is amazing. Everytime I start looking at your posts, an outloud "Wow", escapes my lips--your photos are so awesome. Have a lovely weekend. Mickie :)
Such wonderful photos, great colors. Thanks!
I will never look at a marigold the same way again. Stunning!
love your first image!!!
No, I haven't actually :-)
Can't stand the smell.
Appreciate this sniffless representation of them, especially enlarged.And you are right: they are special.
Wow - that first shot is stunning. I haven't REALLY looked into a marigold. But now I have....thanks to you. And also thanks for bringing the memory of my Dad along with this - the marigold was one of his favorite flowers.
gorgeous color, love that orange! =)
Marigolds are a beautiful flower and I think you really captured the beauty of them...
They're all so beautiful!
Such a beautiful flower! I love the colors and the intricacies. Great captures!
When we really take the time to stop and look at things in nature, they are simply amazing! I'm in awe as I think of how creative our Creator is!
Great angles and compositions, well done! Great in combination with the text.

The marigold is not my favorite flower, but you have made it look extremely beautiful!!
I must confess that I was never a fan of marigolds. Then this year I put them in my vegetable garden and grew to love them. You images capture their very best features. Beautiful!
Super picture, love your macro shots. I have never tried this.
Greetings,
Filip
So beautiful....I think added interest in photography makes me close to the heart of flowers. Karen, I have grown marigolds but not this particular variety...and I am looking forward to plant it next spring. ohh..so many on my wish list..lets see how many I plant:)
Each of these are beautiful, but the first one is simply over-the-top gorgeous.
Soooo nicely done!
Have a great weekend!
