Focus on Life: Color - Macro photographs!

Finding the real colors and textures around us....

This week, our Focus on Life prompt is to find interesting macro shots to share with you. 

Fall creates many changes around us, and many are small things we just walk right by.

I just looked around the fading garden pots by my door step.

A late broccoli sprout.

Cinnamon basil.

Flower of pink stonecrop sedum.

Center of a rudbeckia flower - I didn't even see the web until I got this on the computer.

Another rudbeckia, from the top this time. 

Sempervivum. This live-forever plant was almost killed by our cold winter last year!

I loved discovering the details we usually miss as the weather has it's way with our plants. What else do we have to look forward to?

Focus on Life: Checking Out - Macro Photography

The scrutiny of the lens.

This week's Focus on Life prompt from Sally Russick of Studio Sublime is Macro Photo, something we should be checking out this month, which has the theme "Checking Out." So, I decided to check out how one of my hand painted dragon pendants held up to a close-up. 

Here is the necklace, made this summer with one of four dragons I found on sale at the craft store, and painted with Vintaj Patinas and Ranger Alcohol Inks.

Dragon!

So that's my macro shot for today!

Let's see what others have done.
