I almost forgot I had taken some photos while at my parents’ last month. They had things blooming everywhere and so many critters. About time I emptied the card on my camera I guess, lol.
These were taken with the little point and shoot. I only took my 400mm lens with me on the big camera so any macros I did with the little guy.

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.

The centre of the clematis flower on the last shot in particular looks like a little curly top knot! Very pretty.

Gourgeous flowers !
Great shots !
My favorite is the last curly one
I just bought a waterproof little camera (it feels like it always is raining here) and it takes really good macros.
Have a nice monday !

Hi Lisa,
Mine are not in bloom yet but I cant wait! I have lost so many over the years. There was one that had been planted by the previous owner and it would climb the brick wall near my kitchen window and one year it did no show up. For 2 years it was inexistent. I then planted a rosebush to fill up the bare wall and the thing started to grow again. I did not know that they could go dormant for a few years.

For a point and shoot, these pictures are gorgeous, and wonderful.

Hugs and blessings,

These shots are absolutely breath-taking! I can clearly see the pillen clinging to the stamen. I think you’ve stirred up my allergies! Achoo!
