A trip round my garden with a macro lens

I love macro photography I get to see detail that I wouldn`t otherwise notice with the naked eye, I have a lens that is dedicated to give a 1-1 or full size image at very close range, a few centimetres in most cases. The following is a small selection taken on a nice evening. The lichen and mosses are a fascinating subject by themselves

    Great photos. That reminds me - I have a macro lens for my Olympus camera, but I seldom use it. Must rectify that.

    This may appear twice if so sorry,
    I enjoy taking macros too but I have to use my widest angle setting and get in very close. The detail is always fascinating.
