I Heart Macro 04/22/2012

My pictures for today's I Heart Macro are of flowers from a grocery store bouquet.  I've been so busy with work and haven't had any time to work in my garden this Spring.  I love seeing the flower pictures that are submitted for IHM each week, but the majority of the flowers blooming in my yard are weeds.

This bouquet had a nice mix of chrysanthemum's, a Gerber daisy, a sun flower, lily, eucalyptus and some miscellaneous items that I can't identify.  For some reason, I had a really had time shooting the sun flower, which is the one I wanted to shoot the most.


I love the contrast between the purple and yellow, green of this chrysanthemum


The eucalyptus smells wonderful!  There are little buds, like it may bloom, which will be interesting to see.


This little visitor liked the eucalyptus too and was nice enough to pose for pictures.


Love this orange Gerber daisy!


And the orange lily is very pretty too

Took a few shots inside and decided it was to pretty to be stuck in doors, so I headed outside.



Shot a couple of pretty weeds

Remember my beautiful roses from a previous IHM post?  Well, they almost last two weeks, which is pretty good compared to other cut flowers I have had in the past.  My son wanted the wilted petals and brought the stems back to me and what remained looked pretty cool.





Have a wonderful week!

I Heart Macro July 17, 2011

A couple of pics from the deck in our backyard.
The central spadix of the Spathiphyllum or Peace Lily flower

 We are having a drought and I can't remember when it last rained here.  Hubby has been helping me keep the plants watered, but most of the flowers have dried up from the heat.  I was happy to see the bloom on my Peace Lily.  I also managed to get a shot of a creepy crawly before it flew away.
Please join us at Waterstone Studio for I Heart Macro.  Add your own macro shot and check out the other wonderful pictures posted for this week.  Have a wonderful day!
