Out with the camera yesterday (the scenic route to the grocery store) and today (my Sunday constitutional), I got some good macro shots. My scenic shots didn't work so well, but these close-ups really do the trick. Enjoy!

I know Asian Bittersweet is invasive and smothers everything in its path, but the berries are still decorative as all get-out!

Roy...these are nice. The bittersweet and milkweed are stellar, and I love that colorful little bug (nature is amazing...).
ReplyDeleteSome wonderful shots. The leafhopper in particular is stunning and even more so because of the red leaf it seems to have made home on. The lack of contrast between subject and background just seems to add to the overall effect.
ReplyDeleteFabulous shots, Roy! The milkweed is my fave.
