Thank you I'm wondering if theyre really the pollen, since i've seen pictures of pollen grains, and theyve all been electron-micrographs (thousands of times smaller than these, i think)

Hmm, you are right. More likely, they are clusters of pollen. I know it clumps into visible clusters, as I have taken quite a few macro shots myself.

absolutely gorgeous. the shallow depth of field and sharpness of the focus on the pollen is just beautiful. plus, the colors are lovely.

Thank you very much Shallow depth of field is something that takes a while to get right.... This is the second to last of about 5 shots in a series.
