Macro Monday Spiderlings



Some of the first flowers I see in the spring are these trees full of blooms, while still nearly bare of leaves. They are SO pretty and smell great!



While tending to my plants I noticed these spring hatchlings. I was actually surprised my phone would focus on them.

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!

Haden Alexander Forrest

haden



Haden is the youngest of my four children and the only one left still at home. He’ll be 17 in April. And, according to him, our life at home is similar to a Family Guy episode. Not one day goes by without him saying, “That reminds me of a Family Guy episode. . .” This was surely my goal in life, no?

He’s our Guitar Heroes Expert Guitarist and bandleader, I know Dennis and I bring his band down. But he trudges on with us anyway. (We did finally get this song, it just drove him crazy that we got so close our first time playing, and he demanded a photo be taken of the tv.)

This is Spring?


He loves being outside no matter what the weather.


almost there



He’s the brave one in our crew. Willing to climb tall trees, all the way to the tippy top, or wiggle down a fallen one from a cliff to the beach below (done for a geocache).

Haden



He does many things that we don’t understand.

And when I stick a camera in his hands, the photos that come back are of bugs and spiders.


Black Widow


He found this Black Widow for me to photograph and held a twig for it to pose from.

And this scary hairy guy.

And although I will be sad when he moves out, I won’t miss his roommate.
