Extreme close-up of the heart of a Crocus...

Crocus center
Shooting a Crocus with a 36mm Kenko extension tube + my 105mm macro lens makes for a shallow depth of field resulting in sharp focus for a very narrow range and bokeh everywhere! I don't normally add two posts back-to-back but just had to upload this one so I could participate in macro Monday over at Lisa's Chaos today. I keep forgetting to do that but finally remembered this week!

    Woman! I am so envious of your ability to do this. Do you think you could plan a trip to Holland one of these days and teach me how to use my macro lens and extension tubes??? Pretty please with sugar on top?
