One day the sun admitted, I am just a shadow.

I wish I could show you the Infinite Incandescence that has cast my brilliant image!

I wish I could show you,

when you are lonely or in darkness,

the Astonishing Light of your own Being!

Zoom in to see the details on the #spider under-side.. somehow the underside is more scary... This is not exactly a #macro as the web is in centimetres instead of millimetres, but the spiny legs still make for a detailed pic

A wild strawberry announces its presence...

[Macro-mania: I must admit to having succumbed to the desire to engage in this activity though, in truth, I never thought I would. I reckon it's the time of year -- the season of rebirth -- which demands attention to the "smaller" realms of nature moreso than any other. One tends to look down more than up...to remarkable discoveries and effect.]

my photos have started to get more and more pinkier and I couldn't control myself anymore.

PINKALICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually, I am amazed at how only two flowers from my Azalea have given me so many photos!!!

Són petites, quasi minúscules, però poc a poc s'obre al món mostrant tenir tot els element d'una de les germanes més grans.

A mi, ja ho heu notat, m'ha robat el car i fa temps.

Cada cop, cada instant que passo pels raconet on estan me les haig de mirar i si porto la càmera les haig de fotografiar.

L'altre vaig anar a un xerrada sobre fotografia i art, o millor seria dir l'art de la fotografia. Em va animar ja sempre havia cregut que a part de fer bones fotos, de tenir molt bona tècnica i no diem que "gran" i cara càmera era més important tenir gust, sensibilitat, sentiments, emocions i saber-ho expressar. Per sort em va confirmar que així era.

Hi ha gent que diuen que m'expresso d'aquesta manera perquè no en sé més, segur que tenen molta raó, no puc anar a buscar gran sortides de sol, no puc endinsar-me en paratges paradisíacs, ni tenir models per a fotografiar ... tinc flors naturals que mai m'ha dit no em retratis, ans el contrari, m'han dit fes-ho i emocionat i emociona. Això és el que m'agrada fer, això és la meva intenció. No vull ser el millor, només vull expressar allò que tinc a l'ànima

This is a crop of an earlier photo I took.

Moon Over Transamerica Pyramid in San Francisco, California

I tried out the macro lens today, trying to get some shots of the dogs. Turns out the lens has a quite good autofocus! I´m so happy! :-) Jack is not so happy about the attention he gets from Nova, though...

We had some rain again. Not much, but enough to make the flowers and trees go "awwwwwwww"!!!!!!!!

the last blossoms

A rose bud from on high. Does it seems a planet, doesn't it? :)

Thank you for your replies to my question about Dslr. They've been very appreciated and useful. For the moment I'm playing with my Lumix in full manual mode :)

Have a great day, wherever you are

(looks like I somehow managed to get a lens flare or *something* in this shot, thats annoying)

HPPT to all my flickr friends! That means you.......Thanks for visiting:)

This is some detail from an extremely old pier on Bradenton Beach .... believe I might just have caught each letter!!

Presently, on vacation and way behind with commenting etc will attempt to catch up ASAP!!

Our Daily Challenge ~ Old Macro Mania ....

Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... thanks to you all.

First blooms of these just opened this week. I new you would all want to see them. Rather fascinating flower really. They are Wildflowers that my wife swt snookie found 10 years or so ago at a plant/garage sale that have now naturalized in several areas of our yard! This patch of them is just below the Old Fish/Youngsters pond where Neelix has retired !
