I Heart Macro - Around the Back Yard

Another week has gone by and what a week this has been for me, it has not been a pleasant one.  I'm putting last week in the past and moving on to a brand new week and future!

I was walking around in the back yard and looking in the places that mostly get over looked, that is where you find the best photo ops, and this is what I discovered.


Moss growing in the flower pots

An insect exoskeleton 


A Bumble Bee and a tiny Butterfly enjoying the last of the summer's flowers


Lantanna 

Spider Lilly

I hope that you enjoyed looking at my I Heart Macro shots as much as I enjoyed taking them.  If you are in the mood to see more macro shots head on over to Studio Waterstone and check out what others are I Heart Macroing!


On another note here is a super giveaway to check out.  Go on over to The Gossiping Goddess and check out what the very talented Lesley is giving away!

Happy beading Y'all,
Therese

  4. What pretty shots. And yes, the more I get into photography (still very much an amateur) I discover its the over-looked and unassuming that make the best photo shots.

  11. Therese,
    Your pictures are so lovely. I especially like the ones of the moss in the flower pots.
    I've finally finished wading my way through all the bead soup and am desperately trying to catch up on all my blog reading. Of course, I added a few new blogs to my list after traversing that long list. . .sigh!
    Anyway, thanks for the heads up on the giveaway!
