Macro Monday Skittles Feather

When I babysat my daughter's parakeet I had a mess involved, but I didn't mind, it gave me opportunity to play with the camera.

I never did get the exact view I was hoping for but I was stubborn and wouldn't use my tripod.

Still, I thought some of them were fun.

See, messy bird! My family's just glad I didn't leave it there for a year before snapping, like I did with the cupcake, lol.

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. MM started on Sept 29, 2008 - Thanx to all of you for helping make it such a fun start to the week! :)

This feather came from our little friend who came in, lol.

Still, I would babysit again. :)

Macro Monday Skittles

I'd like to introduce you to Skittles. He's a blue parakeet and belongs to my daughter. I had opportunity to babysit for a week and I really enjoyed having him around.

But he's a little nervous so this is as close as I could get.

Time is calming him some, but he also has a new friend and that's helping a lot. I don't have photos of his new friend yet though.

I also want to take a moment to tell my husband, "Happy Anniversary! The best decision I have ever made in my life was saying yes to you! Thank you for always being here!"

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. Don't forget to visit each other. :)

Well, hello Cupcake!

This week I’m more about the story than the photo. But doesn’t it look festive and patriotic?! Last 4th of July, I tucked one cupcake in the spare fridge to snap a photo of later. Then, in typical Lisa fashion, I promptly forgot about it.

The fridge didn’t get used much (we sold it in the garage sale), but each time someone got in it, the cupcake sitting on one shelf, all alone, always brought laughs. About May, it was decided that maybe we should just tuck it on the plate with this year’s cupcakes and see who grabbed it.

But I’m not totally heartless, so here, one year later I took photos of it - then threw it away. Now I can’t say how it tasted, but doesn’t it scare you that a Wal-Mart cupcake looks so good after a year?!
