Macro Monday

WARNING: Not all of these are great photos but I included them for some perspective reasons.  The first two aren't very good quality. 1. It is a picture of BEE and yes, my hands were shaking a bit because I was literally 3 inches from the bee.  2. I got more confident as I realized the bee was dying because he had flown himself into the window too many times.

Honest his body isn't disassembled it just looks like it in this picture.

 See, I told you it was still together.

 Love the lighting behind his wings on this one. At this point I realized he hasn't tried flying at all since I've been sitting here and snapping photos, he's probably near dead :(. Even though I don't like bees, I still felt bad that he died from slamming into the window so much. :( Not that being outside would have been good for him.  It snowed on Thursday (when I took this picture).

Last one of the bunch. Thanks for looking at my photos to see other submissions, go here

Macro Monday more flowers

At work last week, the mom got a beautiful centerpiece from an awards ceremony in which she was a participant.  I enjoyed taking photos of the flowers. Although this wasn't my favorite flower, it is my favorite flower when photographed.  The photos just came out so well.  Hope you enjoy!

Macro Monday, Raspberries

I work as a nanny for a family and I love it.  One of my favorite things to do with the girls, was to go outside and pick some of these yummy raspberries.  Unfortunately their season is pretty much over in Western PA.  I just like this photo because of the variations in colors and you can see some of the unripe white berries also.

As always, please provide feedback. I heard about this from my great friend Holly.  I hope you don't mind me posting my very amateur photos.
