Tired of winter, longing for spring.

.....REALLY IT IS SO SMALL, WE HAVEN'T THE TIME AND TO SEE TAKES TIME, LIKE TO HAVE A FRIEND TAKES TIME"

Georgia O'Keeffe

WAHHHHH this has been the worst week for my attacks and I haven't had them this bad in ages.

I went to the hairdresser on Wednesday, the ONLY day this week that I have actually been awake for a whole day, took a whole heap of photos and its taken three days to process them just CANNOT keep awake.

I have a funky new hair do and no photo of it, but I will get around to doing one.

SO, in the light of this being a rotten week for me and having no time to visit my lovely Flickr Friends, I thought the quote from Georgia was appropriate.

OH, almost forgot got HEAPS of pinkalicious to post and you can ALL stop rolling your eyes LOL

I definitely have macro mania.

I am limited by my camera and the fact that I do not own a tripod.

I did some cropping and I added a border.

Close-up

A stunning macro photograph capturing the delicate moment of a flower bud just before it blossoms. The vibrant shades of green and hints of violet highlight nature’s elegant design, embodying the serenity and promise of spring. A soft background ensures the viewer's focus remains on the intricate textures of the emerging bloom. See more on frankschmielewski.myportfolio.com/

As it seemed happy enough for the second shot I decided to see if my luck would hold out for one more shot as close as possible. It flew off after this photo!

Settling off on their journey, those with window seats get their final views of Dublin as their Shamrock Aer Lingus A320 heads for the runway.

From snapping, texting or perhaps just watching the world go by, fasten your seatbelt.

I haven't a clue what Ron was taking a photo of here, but I couldn't resist taking this shot.

I saw this on the barrier by the closed clinic. Couldn't resist getting in as close as I could, at the same time hoping I didn't scare it off. A cropped and turned version of it.
