Tulips have opened fully now
So I thought I would have a look inside the blooms with my macro settings on my camera on the phone
Sadly keeping my hand steady is a problem
But this picture gives a good idea of what the inside of the bloom looks like

@ineeddentiures Impressive. I’ve been sitting in the warm sunshine among my tulips this afternoon regretting not having a suitable beverage to sip and having to make do with a can of G&T from the back of the fridge which, I hasten to add, is not my preferred tipple.

@Ineeddentures - I know it's not easy. This is one I took last year of a bell pepper little flower with a small insect on it.

You must have been better at keeping your hand still than I was

Holding the lens close to the object is not easy.
I shake like a jelly in the wind

@Ineeddentures If you talk to them nicely, they'll pose for you.

I have a hard time keeping steady, too - I don't think I could ever get a good pic of the moon. I like your pic, though! It makes me want to do some macro with my new one.

I must admit that I am getting hooked on the macro feature
I have never had a good picture of the moon either.

@AliCanary
It's a bit dark here to do that
But I think in daylight it would be really great to do just that

@Ineeddentures nature is amazing and you certainly were able to capture something we'd never be able to see with our eyes

Thanks Jessica
I thought so too
I must try and hold the phone still
I think even the smallest shake can ruin the picture

Interesting picture here. I wouldn’t know it’s a tulip if you hadn’t mentioned it.

@Ineeddentures I think someone that really knows their flowers would be able to tell from your picture that it’s a tulip. No?
