at the bottom of the 330...just above the city creek ranger station....is a dirt road off to the right....Unfortunately this hideaway gets used for dumping...and god knows what else...but the sage is thriving.....I'm going out again tomorrow and can take a picture of the entrance..

It looks as though most of the sage in this are is "Black Sage"...salvia mellifera...

Steve, this may have been asked before but what kind of lens are you using, a macro? That last shot was beautimous!!!

Wish I could give you an easy answer....actually...I found an extension tube/ adapter....and a adapter ring kit...on ebay...after that....it was all about playing with different lenses that I could screw on the end of my extension tube....I've got quite a pile of old lenses....and my girls love taking them apart....Most of my experiments have ended up in a pile of stuff for the trash can....but I finally found a lense that lets me get up real close!...and it actually let's in enough light for a decent depth of field......well...that's my long answer to a short question....

You really need to write to your camera's manufacturer....I don't think they designed it to do all the things you do with it. Amazing and fun to watch.

Thanks Wildman.....
Another sage blossom.....these are only about 1/16" tall
