Ember Macro Monday

Meet Ember.

You've met him once before in my cancer project, but I couldn't resist sharing him again.

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!

Macro Monday Flip Flop

I love thongs! Yes, when I was a kid thongs went on your feet. I still slip up sometimes, forget to say "flip flops" and get an odd look from the younger generations. lol We finally stopped at Wall Drug on our last trip west and Dennis got me this cute Black HIlls Gold necklace along with the matching earrings and ankle bracelet. I was impressed that they made the bottoms look as accurate as the tops. :0)

Glitter Wings Macro Monday

My son brought me this beautiful butterfly, back when it was warmer, it was barely moving at all, we're not sure what happened to it. On the right you can see my fingerprint on its wing.

Its movelessness (yep, just made that up) made it to where I could really study it. I saw fine hairs along the edges of its wings and colored glitter in patterns.

I think the colors look like little pixels on a computer screen.

Macro Monday Boo!

I bought these tiny halloween ornaments a few years back at a quaint little shop. They were 3/$1 and I thought they were cute. Unfortunately, they live in a drawer and are typically forgotten about during the holiday.

BOO!

Three Bee Macro Monday

I sat on the porch enjoying some of the last bits of warmth and admiring the dwindling flowers when a visitor flew up and joined me.

He buzzed this way and that and I was braver behind my camera than I ever would have been without it.

It wasn't long before we were joined by another bee.

And then another. I'm not sure I've ever seen 3 different kinds of bees in one location before. They were all moving rather sluggishly. I snapped these a few days ago, minutes apart, but now the flowers are nearly gone.

Puppy Paw Macro Monday

A tiny puppy paw.

She is so very tiny, as you can tell when she's in my husband's arms. She was a surprise puppy, for those of you who do not know. She is currently one month old, although I took these when she was 2 weeks old - and she is looking for a home to call her own. I am currently calling her Sookie. :0)

Snapped this one with the cellphone today - she loves the leaves on the patio.

Manatee Macro Monday

The manatee. . .tail? These are the last of my manatee photos. I saved the pieces of manatee for macro monday, this is about as macro as you can get underwater on a huge animal, lol.

I call this one Bubbles.

I see you!

Smile! Looks like he needs a shave.

Snort!

I found their eyes very interesting.

Macro Monday Mosquito

Do you have any idea how hard it is to focus on a tiny little mosquito? I thought I would go crazy trying to pose his body and focus, lol. Oh, yeah, btw, I clapped him out of the air before he bit me so uh, he's not going anywhere.

I hate mosquitos! They leave huge whelps on me every time they bite. But I was pretty intrigued by them as I looked through my lens. I had no idea they had compound eyes.

Another one bites the dust! Yay!

Red Admiral Macro Monday

I can never resist a butterfly!

He let me get really close!

Sorry I have been lax in making the rounds, first we were gone on our trip and then when we made it home I came home sick, am just being able to breathe again and starting to feel better. Promise will be coming round now. Sorry. :(
