I Heart Macro Sunday Morning

Good morning all and a happy I Heart Macro Sunday.  As you can see I am working on my Venti Carmel  Mocciato as I load pictures for today's I Heart Macro and work on pictures of earrings I took last week.  I need something to get me through 225 pictures I took of 28 pairs of earrings, a bracelet and 2 key chains.  Yes, I am a little neurotic when it comes to taking pictures of the inventory.  I want the perfect shot and you will see those pictures later because I still have necklaces and more earrings to take pictures of.

Okay, on with the show.  These are photos I took the other day when two of my friends and I walked over to the hort park not to far from my office.  It was a pretty windy day so I am pretty impressed that any of these flower pictures turned out.  Enjoy!!!!





This image reminds me of a Georgia O'Keefe painting









That is it for today.  I am off to finish off the last of the oxygen so mom can order more.  I think mom is still working on assemblying necklaces and once the oxygen is gone I plan on taking more pictures of the new inventory.


If you would like to participate in I Heart Macro head on over to Waterstone Studio and join along.  Or you can see all the other macro shots from other great photographers there too.

  6. I'm the same way with pictures and just so thankful they're free and I don't have to process rolls of film! I agree Beth about the Goergia O'Keefe shot, beautiful and don't you just love how with macro you get to see all the tiny webs connecting the petals and leaves that you don't see with the naked eye? Good luck with the task at hand

  7. So glad you enjoying your camera and the close ups are amazing. I have been having trouble with my macro setting- it is time to get out the manual and read a little. I get better shots with the simple setting for some reason. Anyway I love that white flower with the curly yellow center. So cool close up. My favorite drink at Starbucks used to be a venti caramel machiatto too. I had to stop drinking starbucks though- it is too acidy for my tummy so I buy Dunkin Donuts Medium Roast Decaf whole beans and grind them fresh- It is really great coffee!!.

  9. Thanks everyone for the wonderful comments.
    @Jane - mom and I are working on the pics now. Once we have the ones we like we plan on putting a slide show together in Smilebox.

    @Patty - I love my Carmel Mocciato. I don't get them often so I enjoy them while I can. This morning was great and got me through some of the bead making and assemblying of necklaces.

    @Jenni - I am psycho when it comes to taking photos, I want the perfect one.

    @Laura - mom and I were talking about the macro shots at lunch. How you can see every detail which you had no idea was there until you see the photos on the monitor. And I am so glad we have digital now, I don't know how we lived without digital!

    @Heather - I don't know what I would do without my coffee. I usually like a large coffee from McDonald's and a coffee called Deadman's Reach from Alaska. I love Dunkin Donut's coffee but we don't have one close to us at all, so sometimes I buy a bag from Walmart.

    @Kym - thanks for the comments. I really like the yellow and orange daisy flower too. I took a lot of pics of those flowers last year and I hope I can get better ones this year.
