This is a very tiny, very insignificant weed-type wild flower, but great subject matter for practising macros.

Just a excerpt from my macro trip to the Birmingham Botanical Gardens. Everything else was brown.

Macro shot with the Fuji Finepix. Natural light.

From the archives=) a snap taken while I assisted with a photography class with Girl Scouts USA . Notice the itsy bitsy spider and they all wanted a macro shot ....

Was watching the bees on one of the flower tubs that was hanging over the bridge. This bee very kindly allowed me to take a second shot.

The tree had a lot of these on it.

Macro mania - looking inside

Macro mania tonight.

I really wanted to catch the drop of ink as it first hit the water. But I didn't have enough hands!

The halogen lamp gave me the shadow on the cork board.

Morning sun and Dew, took this literally as i

stepped out of my front door!

This is a citronella geranium and mosquitos don't like it, which I think is great because mosquitos really like me.

I bought two of these plants last year and put one on the front porch and one on the back porch. It seemed to help cut down on the mosquito harassment better than other things I've tried. I want to buy a few more this year and strategically place them for a mosquito barrier!

This shot also serves as a promo for the Ohio Foothills group's upcoming April challenge - "Macro Mania".

flower power! :-)

It seemed a waste not to try for a real close up while I was leaning over the Marigold!

Managed to catch these in the garden after I'd chased the ants around for awhile.
