Reflections of Love (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. :)

When we got home from shooting Khris and Ashley in the park I sat on the porch with them for a bit and put my macro lens on to snap photos of that ladybug on the mums. Ashley was sitting in front of us and I asked her to hold still while I got a close up of her eye.


At first I was upset when I saw Khris' bright red hat reflected there, then I decided to just go with it. . .

And I asked Khris to lean forward a bit and I got a little closer and voila. I really like this shot! Hope you do too.

  30. You're creeping me out a little, you see I have a fear of eyeballs (along with squirrels and ducks).
    I tried something like this with a chocolate Easter Bunny reflected in a black lab's eyes, but it was too small.
    I have macro envy.
