Here's a few photographs I took at Monet's garden in Giverny, France. The place was so crowded with people that it was hard to avoid having people in the frame. I'd never done any macro or nature photography and I found it very fun to see huge versions of tiny, beautiful things that the naked eye might miss.

The last one was not from Monet's garden.

Spectacular  flower displays, Brute. May I assume your home location ('Podunk') is somewhere in the great Pacific NorthWest ('PNW") of the USA?
In our southern California coastal sage biome, spring is when the rain stops, and the race to bloom and fruit/seed before everything dries out is on.
Nikon D800/16/3.5 at f/16, processed in free trial of ON 1 Raw. Yes, I keep trying to shoot flowers with wide angle lenses.
