Macro

One of my favorite settings on the camera Gabriel gave me for Christmas is the macro (or super-facro!) close-up setting. Who doesn't love pictures of flowers?

Jonah checks out the blooms at the Lincoln Park Conservatory, where we saw the following fauna. I love the colors in this hibiscus. Or, as Jonah calls it, a "biscuit." I wish I knew if he just can't get his mind and tongue around the unfamiliar word, or if he really thinks that I'm saying, "Hi, Biscuit" to the flower. I can only hope that it's the latter.

A couple varieties of orchid.

I actually saw this flower at Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's Virginian plantation. All the other flowers had labels, but not this one. Anyone know what it is? Whatever it is...wow.
