Claws and Jaws make me Pause (Macro Monday)

Macro Monday is easy to play, snap a macro (or any close-up) photo, post it on your blog and come back here and sign Mr Linky. Don’t forget to visit each other. :)

I think someone needs some lotion.

But I won’t be helping with the application of said lotion.

This is the first time I’ve tried to Mr Linky ahead of time, and we are on vacation and away from the computers a bit.  So if Mr Linky does not work, please leave your links in comments and visit each other that way.  Fingers crossed that he works though.

No amount of conditioner will make the skin softer unless they are turned into a bag or wallet! :o

These macros are terrific! Reptiles have such fabulous texture. I love the scales on the foot and the eyes look pretty cool too.

While he’s quite beautiful the way he is – he’d be very soft as a purse! LOL

Reminds me of that lotion commercial years ago with the gator. Great close ups. Hopefully you were using the long lens. Can’t wait to hear about vacation!

Hey Lisa! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!
Guess I’ll go with the herd and link this week’s entry and let it fall where it falls.
(And for the rest of you, no that doesn’t have anything to do with the gator.)

This is my first time participating in Macro Monday. I don’t see Mr. Linky, so you can see my post at http://www.artsquadgraphics.com/blog/. Thanks for a wonderful photo meme.

And as for the alligator, oooh, how the heck did you do that? It’s not like you really want to lean in close or anything. Delightfully scary and wonderful.

Ooooooo, that last shot was really scary, I never want to be that close to an alligator or crocodile. All of these are great shots… and I am with several others.. the thought of alligator shoes, boots or purses never intrigued me… although I did go through an eel phase…

Yikes, I wouldn’t be helping him with any lotion either, not that it’s going to help him anyway!! Those are quite the detailed shots, that eye looks downright evil!!

Fantastic series Lisa. The composition, the sharp details, the perfect exposure make this one of your best series on wildlife even if this were in captivity. Congratulations.
