My Latest Macro Shots.

More macros. I can't help it. I love them.


Daisy to be.



This seed pod is just over a half inch.



This flower is not quite a half inch. It was blowing in the wind which gave it that suspended look.



About to become seed pods.



I love this one. Seed pods and about to be seed pods.



This little guy is barely over a quarter of an inch.



Another soon to be daisy. They start so small.



Seed pod of the Columbine.

Now, it's time for more macros.

Rhody, closed, but about to open.



Rhody open, showing the stamens and pistil.



Fern's new growth.



Buttercup. Is it turning white as it ages, or is it a mutant? I will have to study them to see.



Columbine, all spent out.



Columbine buds getting closer to opening.



My little miniature irises blooming, even though I dug them up and can't get them replanted in this wet soggy yard.



Rhody, just about to open, showing the fuzzy coverings.



Columbine flower.



Columbine bud starting to open.


Baby fern frond.



The marble that hangs at the bottom of my wind chime.

Big through the magic of the macro lens.

Stamen inside an azalea.



Rhody bud.



Lilac buds.



These little flowers are in the grass. <1 inch.



Over easy.

Playing with my macro settings.

I really can't think of anything today that is interesting, earth-shaking or funny. I'm really looking forward to my 8 days off coming up starting next week. I'm hoping it will rejuvenate my brain a little, not to mention give me lots of time to get some things done. I could go a lot faster on projects if I could just quit changing my mind.
Anyway, today's offering is some of my flower (weed) macro shots from October. I hope you enjoy them. They are pretty much as I took them except for some cropping and straightening.

Shhhh...don't tell them it's November!

These little guys don't realize it's way past the time for them to bloom. I took these pictures today, November 9.
The first three are of a freesia that I stuck in a pot to keep it until I dig up the rest and divide them all. I love how it keeps blooming, one bloom at a time. These were taken with the macro setting.








Bachelor buttons are one of my most favorite flowers out of all my favorite flowers. This pot was planted late in spring, so the blooms have remained very tiny. The flower in these pictures is less than an inch across. All of these pictures are of the same flower. The rest all died with the light frost we had the other night. I think it looks very much like fairy wings. These were taken with the super-macro setting.














I didn't notice the visitor in this picture. I have no idea what it is because I wasn't wearing my glasses and the muted tones are giving it no color. It could be a bee or a flea or ????. Who knows.
