Nicole Glenn Photography Blog bio picture

I am a scientist by day and a photographer by night. Follow my journey as I juggle pipettes and lenses in this crazy thing I call life.

Here you will find my most recent work and, if you're lucky, my personal ramblings about Cooper, my love of blueberry muffins, and videos of me dancing. Please contain your excitement. :)

This is the life I love.

Macro Monday | Anza Borrego

I know what you are thinking...It’s not Monday!…and you are correct. If it was Monday again I might cry. : ) I had these pictures and wanted to share, so Macro Monday it is!!

We headed out to Anza-Borrego last weekend to admire the wild flowers. We ended up getting out there a little too late to take the hikes out to see the vast array, but made the best of our time there. My best advice is to head out early and bring Dramamine. I’m a wuss and can’t handle windy roads, so that part was NOT fun. The dessert is especially beautiful this time of year (bearable temperatures is a plus!) and worth the trip. Here are a few of my favorite shots…

I love the pollen on the back…

Note to self: Kneeling next to a cactus to steady your camera is a bad idea. Ouch!

Ok, I really don’t like insects, but I appreciate how hard these ants work. Moving more than your body weight is tough!

It’s interesting how independent the red ants are..Anza Borrego Dessert, Macro Photography
