Macro Monday winter blooms

IMG_6986

I am really enjoying my first Amaryllis.  And Valentine’s Day seemed like a good time to share the gorgeous red blooms.  Happy Valentine’s day!

The blooms are a nice splash of color against the dreary winter.

I also extremely excited with my hibiscus plant deciding to bloom. Woohoo! Color!

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 MckLinky. :) MM started on Sept 29, 2008 – Thanx to all of you for helping make it such a fun start to the week!

Great macro! But what happened to MckLinky? Does this mean that no one is going to see my gorgeous Galapgos lizard!?!

You could drown in those glorious pools of colour you have put up for us.
Maybe you enticed Mr. Linky and he stepped over the edge :-)
You’re laughing at us, aren’t you ?

I’m off to bed, so my linky is here : http://mostlymacro.blogspot.com/2011/02/princess-diana.html

Have a wonderful Valentines’ day! I can’t wait until I can find some color around here. It is all green (pine trees), brown (mud) and sometimes still white (snow). Yep, I could really use some color!! I love your shots. Those flowers are amazing!

Oh, I love your macros in this post! especially like the first and the last image the best, where the sharpness and contrast is good against the background. They are stunning.
Happy Valentine´s Day.

Cool photos :)

We have a red hibiscus plant here by our Florida house, but it froze during December when we were below freezing! In March we’ll cut it down to the ground, and soon it’ll be growing and blooming again.

Filamen are such an interesting subject to capture, it’s easier with my prosumer Canon S5 with a Raynox macro lens but with a newer DSLR Pentax Kr, it;s a bit difficult with just the kit lens, Need to purchase a macro lens soon.

MY MACRO IS what they call “Fakeshaw”….it’s supposed to be a mock-up, fake, version of bone carvings….the real stuff, scrimshaw. Nautical.

FAKESHAW – SCRIMSHAW

Your hibiscus is so pretty….mine froze last week!! Bummer.
