Glad you like them. They do suit B&W
I was happy and relaxed! And excited, as I was working with a new lens!! But had a bad back by the end of the afternoon due to bending down to get the macros

Can’t wait for the warmer weather to use my macro again. I’m not so keen on indoor photography so it has been ‘resting’ for a while 🙂

Much like what I see around my parents’ home in Arizona. They do beautifully in B&W.
