Focus On Life: Week 14 Up Close

In today's world getting up close and personal with some one is a "violation" of  "their space".  While I can understand that sometimes you DON'T want to get that close it can't be helped.  But when Sally gave us this challenge to get up CLOSE and personal, I thought, wonderful. I have so many macro pictures of different things around where I live I could be all day with them. But, I won't do that, I will only do a couple, maybe.... Wouldn't want to put so many out there I might invade YOUR space...:-)

My computer sits in front of a window. Outside that window I have my bird feeder and bird bath, so I get quite the show every day.  But this little guy, a Black-capped Chickadee decided to come to my window for a Photo op....Couldn't turn him down....













This is a close up of a day lily that is growing in my garden. It thought spring was here....poor guy. Mother Nature really pulled on over on him....



And believe it or not, this is a really close up, close up of a new growth on our cactus out in the garden. The squirrels keep eating them so I have take pictures as soon as I see them.

Well I hope you enjoyed my little up close adventure. For more hop over to Sally's and see what everyone else is doing.  

Cheers!

  12. I think they started making SF movies when they looked at macro photos of flowers! Your cactus looks like taken out of a strange war of the stars movie :)
    I love your visitors - we get them too, but they are usually camera shy, must try to be quicker next time!
