Garlic Flower Macro

I was out on the porch swing having lunch when I spied this elephant garlic that had flowered and fallen on the ground. My photographer parts said "that would make a great shot". Unlike hummingbirds who may well be gone if I don't go get my camera immediately, I figured this would
stay until I finished lunch. Then I went o it with my macro lens with and without flash. It is so amazing what happens to the background using the ring flash. You can see other versions in my other albums.
Thanks as always for what a wonderful cheering squad and teachers you all are.

This angle with the bokeh is pretty besides the one with the ring flash. I like both.

I've learned something new. First time I've seen elephant garlic, and it is sure aptly named.
