I Heart Macro Frosty

 Freezing the whole day today, caught what's left of a spider web covered with frost.

 

 

 

 

And frost covering the top of our yard waste container, so pretty!

I Heart Macro - the last of the roses

I'm sure these are the last roses of the season, we're having beautiful weather at the moment but the blooms have been slowing down considerably over the last month anyway.

I will certainly miss them!

I Heart Macro - Yosemite

I was in Yosemite for several days recently,

I only had a chance to take one photo of this beautiful pinecone.

It's quite large, about 10" long if I remember right.

One of my commenters informed me this is a Jeffrey Cone. Good to know, thank you!

I wish I could have studied it a little more.

A little secret, this isn't macro at all.

I took this photo from about 6 feet away with my 50mm lens.

It's the only lens I lugged around Yosemite.

I'm so happy the one and only picture I was able to take turned out so good,

 other than something in front of the lens in the bottom corner.

We're getting some pretty heavy dew these days,

and it's quite cold at night,

mid to upper 40's

feels like Fall already!

Thanks for taking a look at my macro shots for the week!

I Heart Macro - Opportunist

All of these plants I think came from what the squirrels buried when they feed on my bird feeders.

This is the silk on an ear of corn, looks like a nice head of hair doesn't it,

I have always loved the silk on corn!

There are 3 ears on this plant maybe I'll have to plant it on purpose next year.

This is the stalk of a corn, didn't know it was hairy too!

And of course a beautiful Sunflower, this one is very small, maybe 4-5 inches.

I hope you enjoyed my Opportunistic photos today!

My favorite Gladiola, is it stunning or what!

 It was here when we moved in 3 years ago and I look forward to seeing it every year.

 I'm considering planting more varieties of Glads, they have always been a favorite of mine!

Soft and stunning Hydrangea, just got watered so there's lots of droplets left on it which is always gorgeous!

I Heart Macro - Japanese Anemone

Last year I had some "landscapers" come and weed my garden as I had been having some health issues prior to this and didn't keep up with my weeding.

They pulled my Japanese Anemone and I was crushed,

I searched every nursery in my area and couldn't find any more.

FORTUNATELY

they hadn't done a really good job pulling it out because after a few months it began to grow again,

a year later I'm getting my first blooms!!!

I love the Hydrangea above, it almost looks like fireworks,

small sizzling fireworks in the center and big booming fireworks coming out from them!

This Wallflower is so bright, I love it!!

Penstemon!

A different kind of Lavender,

Amazingly gorgeous Hosta bloom,

it was really foggy this morning and being in the shade

it still has lovely droplets of water on it!

Another Hosta flower

Yummy Rose!

Gorgeous Fuschia!!

And just as I was finishing up this post I saw this lovely flitting around at my flower baskets,

so I went outside and chased him around for a few minutes until I got a decent photo.
