I heart macro photography


^ where the deck meets the first step


^ an ocean wave in wood



^ ginger-like plants that ruthlessly colonize our garden every summer


^ the lovely red flowers that bloom on the summer colonists


^ hummingbirds visit these trumpet-shaped flowers to my delight

I LOVE these - especially the ones with the wood grain. I'm weird with wood grain, I can sit and stare at it for hours.

Alex the Girl said...

I really like the first two, and the first one of you ginger plant...I wasn't sure where you were going with that one!

Great shots all around.

Char said...

That "ginger-like" plant is one weird looking plant. It almost looks indecent. Very cool shots.

Also, Veg, if you've seen any balls like this, the dude needs to get to a doctor, STAT! I'm just sayin'.

Insults - Thank you! Your blog rocks too!!! Pimping will follow shortly.

i wasn't exactly aware of the macro vs micro thing when it comes to photography.

you've inspired me to want to take pictures!

Soda and Candy said...

SJ - Aww, thanks! On my camera the macro/normal is a button with mountains and a tulip on it, the tulip means macro.
