Beautiful!! I let my flower garden go this year because I had too much on my plate, but was happy with the perennials that didn't seem to mind my neglect too much ;)
I just love the third photo. That angle in awesome!! Great pics. All we have around here are mums and those won't be around much longer because it just keeps getting colder. So I love looking at your flowers. It warms things up a bit.
Macro Monday? Is this new? I love it, macro is my very favorite...and you do it so well. Those flowers are beautiful. Maybe I'll play next week, I doubt I'll have time to make it this week....
Beautiful Lisa, you're really a Macro expert! The flowers in the pictures above are very familiar to me. We used to dry them and pin them on an Oasis ball (or tempex, is it called tempex?). I loved to do that, they were high fashion when I was a young girl!
Heehee! Lisa, I tried to take a close-up of one of my pets (the parrot) - without flash, of course, out of concern for delicate little eyes. He's usually a complete showoff, but once the camera came near, all he wanted to do was bite the lens!! As a result, I have several blurry "extreme closeups" of his beak, lunging for the camera. Perhaps I should start with macros of inanimate objects first :-)
hi Lisa .. Great shots! I love them all! Here is mine. http://farsideoffiftyphotos.blogspot.com/2008/10/macro-monday-mums.html Hope you are not getting this twice..I think the other reply went to cyberspace LOL
I didn;t know they are called strawflowers, I've seen them during the recent flower show here, I think it need a colder climate than ours to strive well. My entry for this week is already up at: http://mummyjam.blogspot.com/2008/10/macromonday-petals.html
