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 MckLinky. :) MM started on Sept 29, 2008 - Thanx to all of you for helping make it such a fun start to the week!
So Cool! I have them all over the yard, but don't think to snap them. Great idea. I can't find the linky...maybe not up yet. I'm setting up my Macro right now. It's a Catalpa Leaf Landscape. David/ Tropical Texana/ Houston
When I read the title of your post, I thought "Huh? What'd she do, just post a blank post?" Then I saw what you posted and started laughing out loud. Great post and great title.
Empty Macro Monday it is. Trust my office's firewall to block the picture you posted yet show all 37 thumbnails. The earlier comments have now tweaked my curiosity and I cannot wait until I get home to see what you have posted.
That one looks a little bit scary. But I love your photo. :) I made a mistake when I uploaded my photo. Can you delete the first one? It links back to you. Ooops. ;)
We have those things here, too. Before I realized it's just the shell and not the bug, they always creeped me out! :) This is a really cool shot, it almost looks like there's salt on him!
Something went wrong with my browser and I started all over again but after linking it for second time, I saw the first one. Kindly delete any of the two. Thanks.
Oh, you mean he's not really there? Like my moth and its cocoon? Now I wonder if indeed you can collect those empty bug "costume" and I wonder where he went without it? Oh, too many questions on a stormy day!
I was another one who wondered what the heck you were doing when I saw "empty" in my reader, and then I cracked up when I saw the shot! My little brothers would collect those shells from my grandmother's trees when we visited her in Texas many, many, many moons ago and hang them all over their T-shirts to make me scream. Thanks for the warm memories!
Eewww....he looks so "yuckie bah" from this (no) distance! Very pretty photo though (again!)
Blogger posted my MM automatically on monday at my blog, but of course it didn't automatically add a link to your mr. linky and now it's closed :( And I had such a special one this time. I found out Macro goes further than little bugs and flowers. This time it wasn't nature at all. Curious enough now? Find my MM here :D And enjoy your wednessday!!
He is cool in a creepy kind of way!
ReplyDeleteThat is one creepy looking bug, but a great shot! I love macro mondays it has been really fun experimenting and finding things to photograph!
ReplyDeleteIs that a cicada shell?????

ReplyDeleteBeautiful macro shot of a "creepy" bug ;))

ReplyDeleteWhoa I was not prepared for close up of the ugly bug. Great close up, but I think I'll pass on meeting that one. ;)
ReplyDeleteYikes, that may be a little too up close and personal!
ReplyDeleteEewww....he looks so "yuckie bah" from this (no) distance!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty photo though (again!)
