Image taken on March 27, 2016.
A big thank you to Jan Forseth who lent me her Canon EF 100 f2.8 Macro yesterday morning. It was so much easier to use a real macro lens instead of the Canon TS-E 90mm f2.8. By using all three of my Kenko extension tubes (12mm, 20mm, and 36mm), I was able to make this image of one flower on a California Sage (Salvia columbariae), also known as a Chia Sage, Golden Chia, Desert Chia, or Chia. The flower is about 1/4 in (6 mm) from top to bottom.
