Ewwwww

My son found this dead fish. Ewwwwww!



Drippingly gross! Of course the guys thought it warranted a photo or two, lol. I decided to share when I saw how pretty the colors are. I mean, really, look past what it is and see the pretty colors involved. :0)



Better? A dime-sized flutterer.

Macro sooc #23

This is the same deceased butterfly I shared recently. I was able to pose him on the plant and take a quick pic.  Then I lengthened the exposure and we're able to see the hairs on his wings.  The wind was blowing mightily so we can see more of the flower in the first shot, and I did move slightly, but close to the same view.

I know that I did not edit the top photo, but to be real honest I don't remember if I did the bottom one. These have been sitting in a folder for some time.

My question to you (be honest please) - Did you notice that the butterfly was dead?  I plucked him off the grill of my husband's van and posed him.  For the second shot I had to pluck off two of his crackly wings - I still felt (feel) guilty about it. :(

Dead but still lovely

Macro Monday - the Grasshopper

This tiny fellow visited me on my patio table one day. He was much smaller than a dime, hmmm, if you took a kernel of corn, cut it in half and laid the halves end to end that’s about the size of him.

I was pretty impressed with how still he stayed for me while I got closer and closer. Then I discovered that he was dead, mystery solved I suppose but I felt a little guilty for taking advantage of him in his condition. Then again, I’ve just immortalized him, right?

If you missed yesterday's post, you might want to see what a daredevil I am. 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. Don't forget to visit each other. :)
