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.

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

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

  5. Where'd you see that gator? Very cool pics. You should come down to Florida...I can get you even closer to some gators!!!

  6. While he's quite beautiful the way he is - he'd be very soft as a purse! LOL

  10. 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.)

  31. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  32. It's a dangerous skin ...

    Have a happy vacation !

    ReplyDelete
  33. 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...

    ReplyDelete
  34. wow. what an animal! love it :) stunning photography you have there. I didnt post a macro shot, just found this through another meme.. i dont do much macro, but will try to come back :)

    ReplyDelete
  35. As always the details in your macros thrills me.
    Yea, I finally posted a macro on Monday. Thank you for having me!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Since Tom suggested I get a little closer with my poppy shot, I have posted his request, I hope you all like it. Just take the link on my name.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I do feel like I look like that throughout most of winter.

  38. I tried the mr. linky, but I do not know if it really worked. Anyway, thank you so much for hosting macro monday. I love the concept! Very interesting macro here, the eye is amazing. Love the details and colours.

  39. 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!!

    ReplyDelete
  40. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  41. He looks downright MEAN!!! And I don't think ANY lotion would help that dude....I hope you weren't too close taking the shots....they did come out great though!!

    ReplyDelete
