The introductory image is the stamen including the filament and pollen coated anther of a Hippeastrum flower, while the image below is a closer shot of the pollen coated anther.
Macro photography has been harder than I thought, thus the lack of entries in the small life category. But I think I have some of the issues tackled now including the availability of light by obtaining a Macro Ring Lite from Canon. I also am planning on spending a little more time this spring and summer exploring lighting and macro photography, so look forward to more updates in this category.
