Arboretum close-ups

I'm still trying to figure out close-ups with the new camera, but I snapped a few at the arboretum.

Apricot Rose

Orange Bells

White Flower

Bottle Brush

If you look closely, there is a little bee digging in the middle.

Taken at Boyce Thompson Arboretum, Superior, AZ.

Also I was trying out PhotoShop Elements - I have a free trial. I like my PhotoImpact though - I don't know if the Elements is worth the extra cost. (Plus I don't know how to use it!)

Bright Yellow

Taken today at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, AZ. Special thanks to my husband Dan for picking out the shot!
