More macro flower images from the Indoor Hydroponic Farms. Three versions of a male Zucchini flower as focus stacked composites of 25 images processed with Helicon Focus. You can see the tiny hairs in the flower, as well as some tiny droplets of nectar at the base of the flower. Unfortunately, there are no bees in the house and I have to manually pollinate the flowers that I want to bear fruit or vegetables.

Daily Electric Energy Used (73.0 kWh) from Sense and Daily Solar Electric Energy Produced (21.1 kWh) from SolSystems and Locus Energy. A deficit of 51.9 kWh. Some of the hydroponic gardens are still off.
I am a scientist by training (Eckerd College, BSc; Caltech, Ph.D.). I worked for 27 years as a Chemist in the Pharmaceutical Industry developing processes to manufacture medicines for human and animal health. I now spend my time as a photographer and world traveler. My interests include the natural world, wildlife, landscapes, sky, and seascapes, travel, and astrophotography. I look for unique ways of viewing the world and presenting my images. I have traveled to over 55 countries in six continents, often on Semester at Sea voyages. While at home in New Jersey, I spend time on home renovation and expansion of a wildflower garden/meadow.
