Garden flowers, Apr. 18 2026

Was asked to take some pictures of the blossoms in someone's garden — the light was fabulous, and with the big zoom lens, I was surprised at just how much more is visible than typically with the human eye (even when all photos were from relatively far away!)

While editing these, I found myself getting lost in all the details that only make themselves known as you zoom in — iridescent fuzz, the patterns in veins, and more.
Enjoy :)

Zoomed picture of quince tree flowers. The petals are still curled around a ball shape, white with pink veins giving hints of color through the body of each petal, filling with color at the edges. The leaves around the flowers are a saturated green - some sharply in focus, where you can see their own venation, and others crowding in on the frame in the foreground and filling out the blurry green background.

Vranja Quince flowers I

Picture of a curled, purple anemone flower. Its petals are bright, almost translucent, lit from behind by the afternoon sun, and faintly fuzzy. It's framed on either side by the tall, triangular leaves from another plant, similarly backlit.

Anemone coronaria I

Zoomed picture of a backlit quince tree flower. The petals are bright white, turning to pink at the edges as they trace the vascular structure. The leaves below it are similarly illuminated, alongside darker pink flower buds on each side. The background is a blur of dark greens.

Vranja Quince flowers II

Picture of the flowers on a Crab Apple tree, bright white and catching rays of the afternoon sun. The leaves are bright and glowing, rich textures of the veins visible through the light from behind.
