Coneflower, about to explode......I really love shooting these summer flowers with the macro lens......they look SO different than when they are fully blooming.  This flower is about the same size as an American quarter (25 cent piece), but it has SO much detail in that tiny space.  And it's perfect.
Nearly ready for the arrival of the family beginning tomorrow.  Just a few more things to do in the morning.....can't wait to see them all!  :)
