Color macro photo. A green leaf, with many lobes. Each lobe is gently curled, and at the bottom of each are white water droplets. Part of the leaf, at the top of the frame, is backlit by the sun. Other leaves, lower down and unlit, can be seen surrounding the central leaf.

Some photos I took while walking around the Bellevue Botanical Garden this past Saturday with the macro lens on. Water drops from recent rain, lots of things in bloom, and a ladybug with a dusting of pollen.

Gear: Nikon Z 7II, Nikon VR 105mm f2.8 G Micro
