Two-toned Tulips 🌷🌷 Walking around the Liliac Park in @lombardparks taking breaks in between, observing the rainbow hues, relaxing, I passed by these two-toned tulips & couldn't resist clicking them. The warm reds & yellows mellowing together gave a sense of solace even in a congested garden. Maybe that's the magic of Spring. #Macrophotography #shotOniPhone #naturephotography #Nofilter #Tulips #SpringInChicago #spring2021 (at Lilacia Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/COrVvntB71e/?igshid=8bplxq992f6l

🌲The other day while walking down a small hill, I encountered the tiniest of pinecones hanging on a Pinetree. 🌲Of all, some were still green while others were ready to fall. Some have already plunged off the tree while others barely hanging on. 🌲All went well except for a few spikes here n there on my arms. #macromood 📸Shot at: Frontenac Park, Aurora, IL 🔎Lens: 100mm Macro Lens 📱Phone: iPhone XR #macrophotography #shotoniphone #phonephotography #photooftheday #macrophotography #macrolens #outdoors #stayingalive #walking #eveningphotography #auroraillinois #pinecone #pinetrees #photoshoot #googlelocalguides #illinois_shots #photogram #minimalism #minimalist #ａｅｓｔｈｅｔｉｃ #instagood #instagram #neighborhood #naturephotography #naturelife #natural #pine #trees #treesome (at Frontenac Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSDpcIQMJrR/?utm_medium=tumblr

🍃Can you see a palm with long curvy fingers holding on to the fragile shoot... Or Did you just notice a delicate shoot? 🍃When I choose the subject for the next macro photoshoot, I somehow happen to spot various shapes & objects around me. & it's primarily because mother nature, at all times, is highly versatile! 🌿 #ShotOniPhone 📸Shot at: Oakhurst County Forest Preserve 🔎Lens: 100mm Macro Lens 📱Phone: iPhone XR #macro #macrophotography #macromood #blackandwhite #photooftheday #naturephotography #illinois #onlyinillinois #googlelocalguides #shapes #instagram #instagramers #instagood #instadaily #naturelovers #outdoors #ａｅｓｔｈｅｔｉｃ #aesthetic #edits #natureshots #closeup #macroworld #curves #saturdayvibes #photogram #phonephotography #iphonexr #elegance #natgeoyourshot (at Oakhurst County Forest Preserve) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRtuLsehNCf/?utm_medium=tumblr

🪲The day I met a clan of metallic rainbow beetles—also called DogBane Beetles! Wow!—I exclaimed. The moment I noticed these lethal little fellas. 🪲 Their metallic hues are highly deceiving for when you first take a look at them they appear so photo-worthy but assume these metallics a clear warning! 🪲 Despite their inviting colors & given that how poisonous they are, I m sure they look much better in pictures only. #beetle #shotoniphone #macro #macrophotography #phonephotography #instagood #instagram #instadaily #rainbow #bugs #bugsofinstagram #insects #insectsofinstagram #outdoors #plants #naturephotography #naturelovers #googlelocalguides #naperville #greenday #inspirational #metallic #poisonous #travel #photogram #photooftheday #hue #bugslife #natureshots #macromood (at Oakhurst County Forest Preserve) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRhn_3WhgMX/?utm_medium=tumblr

🍃One object, endless possibilities! 📸Photographers! Have you ever got gaga over an object's magnificence to an extent that you were almost tempted to lay hold of the camera without any further ado & seize the moment from all possible angles? With this shot, I couldn't wait for a second after I noticed this fella then exploited it to the full. I edited it in a few different ways that worked the best for me. #macrophotography 📸Shot at: Matthiessen State Park, IL 🔎Lens: 100mm Macro Lens 📱Phone: iPhone XR #shotoniphone #macromood #macrophoto #instagood #instadaily #instagram #macro_brilliance #nature #naturephotography #onlyinillinois #naperville #googlelocalguides #blackandwhite #blackexcellence #cameramama #macrolens #summervibes #outdoors #chicagogram #naturelovers #photooftheday #excellence #inspiredbynature #closeup #closeupshot #natgeoyourshot #natgeonature #500px #dupagecounty (at Matthiessen State Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRZaJigBV05/?utm_medium=tumblr

🌼Have you ever seen flowers inside of a flower? Well, you just did. 💛I sometimes wonder how nature works! 💛In this warm season— a season of bountiful amounts of flowers including wildflowers where some are bushy; While others are hardly hanging; Some are petite while others grow massive; Some bloom for eternity while others droop soon; Some are singular whereas others are run of the mill. #macrophotography 📸Shot at: Blackwell Forest Preserve 🔎Lens: 100mm Macro Lens 📱Phone: iPhone XR #macro #shotoniphone #phonephotography #macromood #wildflowers #sunflower #flowersofinstagram #instagood #instagram #instadaily #sunnyday #photography #chicago #onlyinillinois #forestpreserve #naturephotography #outdoors #outdoorphotography #inspired #natureshots #natgeoyourshot #natgeomyshot #macroworld #naturelovers #yellow #Chicago #illinois_shots #naperville #googlelocalguides (at Blackwell Forest Preserve) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRPZnq9BFyM/?utm_medium=tumblr

🌿No matter what time of the day I notice them, they always look photo-worthy to me as if they’re camera-ready every. time. all.the.time. 🌿Every so often, I wonder if categorizing these beauties as weed is justified. ❓What's your opinion?

Bright as a sun 🔆 Happy as a child🧒 Sunny blossoms,💐clear sky, ☁️ far stretched grassland🌱 in @starvedrockstatepark invited me for the next Macro photo setup. When I first noticed these sunny blossoms, it reminded me of humungous mustard fields in India that I grew up watching. #statepark #macro Starved Rock State Park is one of the most visited state parks in Illinois. The Canyons, Cascading waterfalls & trails are worth a visit. #macrophotography #macromood #sunnyday #yellow #mustard #flowers #summervibes #summertime #onlyinillinois #localguides #roadtrip #travelphotography #travelgram #instagood #instadaily #postoftheday #photography #macrophoto #plantlover #naturephotography #outdoors #outdoorphotography #plantmom #nature #illinois_shots #inspiration #longweekend #beautifulday (at Starved Rock State Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ-IIlQhxaB/?utm_medium=tumblr

📣Disclaimer: Macro Life of an Orchid was possible without having to visit a state park or a forest preserve! 🔬For the very first time, I tried a small experiment right into my patio. It went effortlessly stunning. All I needed was: 💧A spray bottle 🌺Some florals (In my case an Orchid) 🔎A Macro lens accessory & ⏲️An hour or so! A gentle spritz of water right onto the stunning orchids goes a long way. I tried different angles & perspectives to capture this. I am pretty happy with the way it turned. #orchids 🔎Lens: 100mm Macro Lens 📱Phone: iPhone XR #macrophotography #shotoniphone #phonephotography #instagram #instaflowers #orchid #summer #chicago #naperville #purpleorchid #instadaily #photooftheday #happyflowers #july4th #july #beautiful #floral #dew #water #droplets #drops #patio #instamood #macromood #longweekend #plantlady #plantmom #plants #outdoors (at Legacy at Fox Valley) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ7v03LBIAH/?utm_medium=tumblr

A picture or a painting? Using a macro lens accessory has introduced me to many of Nature's intricate elements that were truly impossible to relate with otherwise. #macro #ShotOniPhone #macrophotography #summervibes #summertime #summers #chicago #naturemagic #macros #macromood #plant #flowers #painting #photography #photogram #photoeveryday #instagood #instagram #instadaily #photooftheday #photoshoot #details #petals #paintingoftheday #pastel #pinkaesthetic #naturelovers #lovenature #tinyworld #aesthetic (at Waubonsie Lake Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ46BONBCvE/?utm_medium=tumblr

🐞Nature-made paintings that don't require a paintbrush/pastels but a camera or a high definition lens may be. 🐞Out-in-the-nature when the whole forest preserve & its magnificence is yours, you try to capture every lively impression that your eyes can behold and exhibit it eventually. #ShotOniPhone #MacroPhotography 📸Shot at: Oakhurst County Forest-Preserve 🔎Lens: 100mm Macro Lens 📱Phone: iPhone XR #phonephotography #phonegraphy #phonegram #instagram #instagood #instadaily #bugs #bugsofinstagram #instagramhub #photogram #bugslife #ladybug #naturephotography #outdoors #woods #forest #forestphotography #localguides #behance #natgeoyourshot #natgeowild #travel #summers #chicagophotographer #intothewild #naturegeography #environment #pollen (at Oakhurst County Forest Preserve) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ2Za7nhmFN/?utm_medium=tumblr

▪️When Mother Nature meets a Macro lens & demonstrates its otherworldly powers. ◾The patterns, the textures, the colors, & the formations are thus revealed to their fullest. ◼️On many occasions, what can't be seen through naked eyes, can be observed beautifully through a simple lens accessory which opens up a whole new mystic world. #macrophotography #blackandwhite #bandw #white #summers #pattern #nature #shotoniphone #pattern #texture #naturelovers #photogram #photooftheday #macroworld #nakedearth #nakedeyes #nofilter #picoftheday #localguides #naperville #onlyinillinois #natgeoyourshot #travelgram #instagood #instagram #flower #natural #simplicity #magical #nocolor #plantlife (at Blackwell Forest Preserve) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQz4HlBhqqi/?utm_medium=tumblr

What do you see? 👀 An environment-friendly Microphone or something else? 🍃🎤🍃 Frequent visits to the nature trails in my neighborhood contribute to promising results when I come across green/undeveloped Microphones growing on the bushy curbside. #macrophotography #shotoniphone #summer #summerinchicago #chicago #phonephotography #photooftheday #macroworld #microphone #naturelovers #naturephotography #trails #lush #green #lovenature #outdoors #aesthetic #bokeh #nofilter #suburban #plants #instagood #instagram #instadaily #plantsofinstagram #outdoor #natureshots #naturephotographer #macromood #naperville (at Oakhurst County Forest Preserve) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQuofhUhGLy/?utm_medium=tumblr
