I love how macro photography often shows you more than you realized was there.
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!
