I'm not sure how this one came to my attention, but it's spectacularly beautiful.
Seeing Trees is photographed by Robert Llewellyn and he is pioneering a method that brings especial clarity to specimens.
from my review-
"My first impression of the photographs was "How interesting; they're all over-exposed."
But the introduction explains that Llewellyn mastered a new form of photography - "using software developed for work with microscopes Bob creates incredibly sharp images by stitching together eight to forty-five images of each subject, each shot at a different point of focus."
The depth of field is so robust it's closer to seeing the subject in the round. "
He's done the same thing in Seeing Flowers, which I haven't examined yet.
I tend to go around looking closely at all of the detail in God's world, so I really appreciate when others do such a great job recording same.

This one blew me away:
Rooftop Gardens: The Terraces, Conservatories, and Balconies of New York. The gardens are amazing, the photography is gorgeous, and you just KNOW that you couldn't afford so much as a square inch of that real estate :). My favourite was the lovely terrace with a view of the treetops of Central Park.

I see that Robert Llewellyn has a new title out - Seeing Seeds, and I'm the first to add it here. He's also got another tree book out last year called Trees Up Close.

Very much like Patterns in Nature, by Philip Ball, Art Forms in Nature present luscious biota photographed and enlarged by Karl Blossfeldt. The book I have is from the 60s and the prints are black & white. But oh! They are achingly beautiful.
This one is on the cover:

And a master in illustration, Katie Scott is someone to begin collecting. Check out Botanicum. It's amazingly vivid. My friend brought out her zentangle, zendoodle workbooks to compare. Because of her excellence and juxtapositions, Willis is also being courted by the home and clothing fashion industry as well.
