I've found especially this spring that I tend to use the Voigtländer 125mm more than ever, and seem to be falling into the easy-pickings trap of macro flora photography. I guess it's a phase.

This seemed particularly evident to me the other day on the outing with Paul Barr that produced “Photographer's Low-Hanging Fruit: a Pretty Flower”, which this post is essentially a continuation of.
