Today’s micro theme on #macromonday, is “liquid”, and, since our Super Moon was blotted out by thunder storms last night, and everything in the yard is still soaking wet, I went out early to see what I could find to match the theme. This is Gaillardia…commonly known as Blanket Flower, hence the title 🙂 It is a showy flower under any circumstances, and here the colors, in the indirect light of a foggy morning, are particularly rich. Add the water drops and it qualifies for a wet macro…or a wet blanket.

Canon SX50HS. Program with my usual modifications. 24mm macro setting, plus 1.5x digital tel-extender. f3.4 @ 1/30th @ ISO 250. This could not be done without the excellent Canon IS!

Processed in Lightroom. Cropped for composition.
