A bit rainy out this morning in WNC so, I figured if I cannot take the camera out to flowers, I will bring the flowers to the camera. My front lawn is full of these tiny little flowers, most are about 5mm in size.

Spring is coming here too. We have daffodils and crocus starting to pop up.

This tiny flower looks like something in the mustard family. Those long skinny pods should be full of developing seeds. An opportunity for razor blade and microscope?

Thanks for the clue, I will research it further. I have yet to find out what it is. Would be good idea to for the microscope, as you mentioned, if I had a microtome. May be I could free hand it, dunno.

Thanks Rik

Thanks Joan.

I am looking forwards to better weather but am apprehensive about the heat and humidity that come with it.
