I was telling my mother about this the other day. I study botany and often some of the most interesting plants are the tiny, seemingly boring ones. This is some spotted spurge, Euphorbia maculata, growing out of a crack in some stones.
That’s so pretty. What did you use to take the super zoomed in photo?
I live near a city and it makes me want to study enough botany to identify the various plants that spring forth in unexpected places. Some of them are quite beautiful and I find myself moved by their improbability.
Thanks a lot! I have an Olympus Tough TG-6. They’re on the TG-7 now and my buddy has one, but they’re almost the same camera so if you find a 6 available get that.
I’ve probably put 20,000 photos on this thing. It’s an amazing digital camera. I have dropped it onto concrete, it’s waterproof, just all around great. I recommend getting the ring light if you want to do macro photography. I’ve gotten some awesome pics with it.

I have a “neglect bowl” for things like this I’ve literally scraped off a sidewalk.
Also I get a lot of speedwell as a weed and I kind of like it so I usually let it do it’s thing.
Those asters are lovely, too. I’m not sure those grow here
Oh I get it, yesterday I scraped up a random rush I saw in a Martin’s parking lot. I’m now pressing it with some Sorghastrum and Panicum.

You wouldn’t think it but the vast majority of my photography is of plants. I just got some great mileage out of photographing insects.
