Two new macros

One of the trees in the front yard has some interesting buds that I wanted to capture before they came into bloom. It was a bit windy so I had to take the pictures in between the gusts.
I used the macro feature on the Lumix to get mere centimeters from the buds, as I am telling you, what you see in these pictures is in real life real itty bitty and you can only get this "close" to them using a good macro lens.
