Anyway, I've always like the soft curl of the stamen and the lovely colors. Oh! And can you see the hummingbird in the first photo? :-)

Today's Flowers - Wooly Blue Curls
My photos for today's meme are called Trichostema Lanatum - Wooly Blue Curls. I wish I'd remember how to use the manual focus on my camera. Whenever I need it I can't remember how to get to it. I needed it for these because the lens kept wanting to focus on the background and not the flower. Urrrggghhh! LOL!

Lovely macros! The curl is pretty cool.
I did not see the hummingbird until you mentioned it. I guess I was focused on the flower and thinking I have the same problem when focusing. (Apparently in more ways than one. :)
Did you know he was there?
Beautiful photos, the hummingbird is wonderful.

Carletta - I took these a couple of weeks ago. I'm pretty sure that at the time I was trying to capture it but I'd forgotten about it and didn't even see it in the photo until I posted it. :-)
Yes - I see the hummingbird! At first I was wondering if you didn't see it yourself - but then you told it! :)
Your macros are simply wonderful of these lovely flowers!
Have a great Sunday!

i see the clear that hummingbird and of course the beautiful flowers..they are always lovely!! enjoy the rest of your weekend!
So soft and sweet looking, and the hummer is a bonus for sure. judi
Beautiful flowers. Yeap saw the hummingbird first thing. Wonderful shot. =) Hope you have a great week.
Miss sweet, you can't take a bad photo.... they are always great! But I do feel your frustration about remembering all the settings when you want them...NOW! Been there, done that :D
They're amazing flowers! I love your close ups that show how woolly it is. And I didn't spot the humming bird until you mentionned it - what a great bonus!
Lovely photos..I have trouble remember the manual setting too. I wrote some down on a index card and put it in the camera case...

Stunning! Mother Nature's artistry always amazes me! Gorgeous mellow yellows above too! smiles NG
Beautiful macros, Ms. Saxy. I love the name too, almost like the oldies song "Woolly Bully". You also have a good eye, didn't see the birdie, until you said so.
I figured out a trick on my camera. Assuming you have one with an AF (autofocus) then MF (manual) lens switch. I do the AF first. When that is set with the item I want in focus, I switch to MF so the focus won't switch. Then I can work on the composition and the ISO and other numbers.
Well, your flowers are lovely! new to me.
Look so delicate and beautiful wisps of the stamen indeed. Love the colors, so soft.
just like you, i too have a lot to learn in using my camera, but you did a splendid job on this one. :)

I've never seen a hummingbird. They are so awesome :)
And I love those delicate flowers. Beautiful :)!!
Auto-focus can be a bit of a pest when you are trying to snap a little bird in a bushy tree and it focuses on leaves and twigs 'til the bird has departed. My eyesight is no longer yp to manual focus so I do my best with what I have.
I love your flowers and amazungly, your humming bird has visible wings! Nice macros as well.
Wow. I love the colors. Perfect shots as always.
Great color and I did see the little hummer very cool!
Ohmygosh ... each is more lovely that the preceding photo! Wonderful purples magnificently shared ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
