:) I few more from my latest flower venture: White Oleander and the spectacle of Agapanthus. Agapanthus certainly makes for an unconventional flower species and bees love them too. Unfortunately no bees visited during my photoshoot.

All photos shot with my trusted A6000 and Tamron 90mm macro.

Wonderful set.
Man the light is good in Istanbul. How many places did you try before deciding to live there? :D

Page 9 looks like the best so far. Hope I don't lower the standard.

Yes, Hibiscus. The deep red ones bloomed this morning. More shots to come. It's going to be hot and heavy in the next week or two.

I don't know what to make of this except that Mohini Dey on bass is going to make history. And you can see that she is holding back.
