The growth of pine buds, macro photossteemCreated with Sketch.

in photography •  6 years ago 

Approached as close as I can with my macro lens to the places where pine leaves are born. They erupt in a dense cluster of tiny needles less than 1 cm in lenght, from a cone-like sac.

Click to zoom to reveal more details, especially for the third photo which shows the apical meristem (the youngest and less developed leaves).

Whoa, those are some beautiful shots. Makes me really want to pick up a macro lens sometime for my camera!

Thanks!
A macro lens is a nice thing to have, to see unexplored parts of the world through the camera.
