For Macro Mondays theme - High Key

I was very excited to find this weeks theme was high key but couldn't decide what to photograph. Then I saw this rosebud was opening and crying out to be photographed. It's called a whiter shade of pale (which would have been a good title if I hadn't used it before). Unfortunately the plant hasn't done very well this year and we have had very few blooms which is a shame as not only does it look beautiful but it has a delightful fragrance too.

I placed the rose on acetate to add a reflection but it looks a bit more like a shadow. HMM

No end

For Macro Monday - Contained

These tiny bottles from my craft stash, are always good for a macro shot. The two bottles at the back are filled with things I used for previous photos...a star and some dandelion seeds, I wrote dreams on some little strips of paper to put in the front bottle...and one to follow.

I'm a bit late to the party, I took the pic earlier but didn't have time to post it before now. HMM

First light.

Sunrise at sea.

Coast

Seascape

Abstraction at the beach.

as evening returns

at the end of the day . . .

autumn leaves remain

before they slip and fall away

the tree awaits . . .

for once they have gone

it will be time for the tree

to sing it's winter's song !

I had a couple ideas for today's photo and neither of them involved chives but I noticed these growing in the driveway and thought they would do nicely.
