I Heart Macro 06/03/2012

Sorry I haven't posted in a few weeks.  I have really missed it, but after being on the computer 9 - 10 hours at work, the last thing I want to do when I get home is get back on the computer.  I do try to read a few of my favorite blogs while I eat breakfast each morning and I have been so inspired lately.  I've been working on some pieces and will try to get some pictures posted soon.  

We have a rouge grapevine that keeps popping up in a bed by our front steps.  I have tried everything to discourage it's growth, but alas, it appears again each year.  Today I was walking in from a trip to the store, looked down and instead of the usual frustration, I saw beauty in the little fuzzy little leaves and curly red tendrils.  After putting away the groceries, I decided to collect specimens for my I Heart Macro shots.

Can you see the upside down heart in the tendril?


Today I'm joining Lori Plyler of Studio Waterstone for "I Heart Macro" slash "I Heart Close Ups: Up Close Photography for Macro Makers and the Camerologically Challenged".

    1. Thank you, Sweetie! I noticed the heart when I was editing the pictures.

      Your dad and I just got back from seeing The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. It's a very good movie. We had to go eat at Chaat Cafe afterward :-) It was yummy!
