An assortment of close ups

This is an accumulation of different close up subjects, taken over the last few weeks from several different locations, that have not fitted into any of the themes of my recent posts. The first 3 shots were taken at Dunyeats Hill nature reserve

The next 4 are from Canford Magna.

3 different coloured Balsam flower, an invasive weed typically found beside rivers. The Olympus OM-D EM-5 in camera stabilisation proved very usefulness as these were taken hand held to get most of the flower front to back in focus.
