Macro Monday - A Bird in the Bush


Macro Monday is easy to play, snap a macro (or close-up) photo, post it on your blog and come back here and sign Mr Linky.

Where there’s berries there’s often birds.

And I looked and looked and did find some birds.

However, they were camera shy!

This lone frog was the only creature willing to pose for a moment.





I will be slow making the rounds due to currently being in Missouri and having to borrow my mom's computer to do this post but as soon as I can I will be around. :)

    I do love these, Lisa. That frog has a sweet and humble look about him.

    those red berries are so pretty. i kept looking in those berries for a bird that i thought must be there. lol that frog sure is a warty thing...i think the old expression, 'he's so ugly, he's cute', applies here. :)

    Those berries are so pretty! Some birds are going to get some good eatin'. Unless these are the poisonous kind and that's why there are no birds :-). I managed to combine the macro and the thematic photographic. Mr. Linky has the info!

    Those red berries are amazing! So clear and crisp. I've never seen berries like that. And the texture on the frog is incredible! I've never looked at one close enough to see how cool they are LOL

    Berries are so fun to photograph and that frog is very bumpy.
