Garden Close ups

Got my new phone yesterday and have been out practicing some shots with the camera. The screen on the phone is HD so they look stunning viewed on the the phone.
Here’s a couple of various things around the garden…..
Primula vialii
Allium caeruleum
Philadelphus ‘Belle Etoile’
Rosa ‘Warm Welcome’
Oriental Poppy
Salvia x sylvestris ‘Rose Queen’
Trifolium rubens
Veronicastrum virginicum
A ripple from raindrops on the pond
A few wee beastie shots……
Wasp(?) on Allium nigrum
Spider scuttling away into the Veronicastrum
Greenfly (?) on the tip of Monarda leaf
Just as dinner was being dished up this little chappy dazed himself by flying into the back door……

Thanks Lil....it's a Samsung Galaxy SIII - all singing, all dancing :))))
TBH Lil...I was really disappointed when I downloaded them to the laptop - the difference in the colour is a let down on the up - it does seem to do 'purple' better than the iphone and my old digi camera.

I heard recently that digital cameras are becoming obsolete (just as I'm getting the hang of it lol) After seeing these pics I can understand why. I feel sorry for professional photographers...I think their days are probably numbered too. You have some fantastic plants by the way..especially love the allium, salvia and trifolium...I'm going to google the latter as I don't know it:-)

Thank you all for your lovely comments.
Franny - the little bird too a little while to recover but he soon flew off on his own accord. I sat by and watched just in case the magpies appeared but they didn't!
Lil.....shame your carrier doesn't do this phone. I was undecided between this and Iphone4s. The camera on the Samsung was better but there wasn't much else in it!!!
Pixi - the specs for the camera on this phone says 3.1 megapixels - I don't know what any of that means. It is quite a large phone compared to any other I have had.
BA - a digital camera was never high up on my want list til I joined GOY - but like all technolgy - it is almost obsolete as soon as you get it!!
The Trifolium is like a large clover - wildlife friendly. It's new in the garden this year and I know very little about it either.

I can only echo all of the above. Brilliant photos. I don't think you need more practise either.
