This weeks theme is up close. Being a botanist and married to another, we tend to look at plants up close. That's how we can tell them apart, and whilst I can appreciate a whole forest, or a particularly majestic or gnarled tree, I think the true beauty of plants is most appreciated up close.
I can take no credit for the following images. Rob loves to take macro photos of Tasmanian natives, and has an eye for finding something a little unusual up close. The following are just a selected few (from the 90 images he forwarded to me) and of the several thousand he has.

Hazel, a botanist, I am so excited! I will have to bow to you.....have loved plants al my life and collect botanist pics. I have met the real deal. LOVE. xx
Thanks for all your comments about Rob's photos, he loves it!
Roberta-please don't bow to me! We're always learning new things, and I certainly only know a little about specific plants, although I appreciate most!
I think being a botanist sound so exotic and clever
And I love Rob's photos - espeically the water drop on the gum flower - May Gibbs would be in heaven
These photos are really stunning, all of them!
Those photos are fantastic. I'm going to show them to my budding gardener and plant lover age 5. So keen to nurture his enthusiasm.
