Macro Flowery Monday

lc1273



First, I have to fess up that this is one of those old, very old, fashioned hair dryers.  You guys are great guessers!! I picked it up at a rummage sale a few years ago for a quarter!  And I use it to dry my dogs off because it's quieter and gentler than an average hair dryer.  I keep it by the sliding glass door in the kitchen in the winter and use it to thaw out the door enough to open in the winter. ;)


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 suppose I could drag these out, but there are so many things to take a close look at that I’ll share them all and just overload you on flowers.

    Ah, what a nice, warm Macro Monday for me to look at! I wish I had some flowers to photograph but they are currently being doused in snow again. *sigh*

    Happy Monday, I hope you have a wonderful week!! *HUGS*

    These are so cool. Flowers looks so strange so close up ... like weird alien planets. Love this!

    Not sure why, but I think #6 is my favorite. Although the orange one right after it looks practically edible. Like a Dreamsicle or something.

    And boy did I ever miss the boat on the hair dryer! Guess I have medical stuff on the brain lately or something. Or maybe it's just that my Spring-O-Meter (sinuses) are pegged these days from the pollen.

    I feel positively pedestrian in my offering for this week by comparison!

    I have to get something so I'm able to do macro photography. I tried to take a pic of a bee over the weekend, and it was out of focus. I was so disappointed.

    Unlike your pics, which are great. I see you're doing flowers. Has spring come to Wisconsin? :)

    I'm totally overloaded on flowers and bright beautiful flower colors now. Thanks, Lisa. What's that orange one? It looks like it would tickle.

    I haven't seen one of those hairdryers in YEARS!!! Brings back good memories though!! And I absolutely, positively love all of your beautiful flower shots....they are stunning!! We were over on St. Simons Island the other day and I saw this woman walking around carrying this huge honkin' camera....and I mean the lens was HUGE!! I thought of you immediately!

    It's great to see all these blossoms. I was thinking it should be spring...although the weather people say we're going to get 6 to 8 inches of snow today.

    As always your pictures totally amaze me!! Gorgeous micro shots!
    I have to ask what lens did you use?
    And also can I ask your opinion on what lens you would shot with if you were shooting wedding pictures?

    The detail in those pictures is incredible! Flowers are so fascinating when you really look close at them and you've done a great job of showing that.

    Hi Lisa,
    Beautiful close ups of those flowers! I really like the orange one. It's the third one from the bottom. All those stripes, who would have thought a flower had stripes. Mine is posted. Have a great day!!
