Yesterday’s image was the moldy spot on a hamburger bun I had made for dinner. One of my kids was sick that evening and didn’t eat, and this little bun got lost in the pantry. I thought it was interesting how the mold formed in the shape of an ‘s.’
This is a shot I took almost two months ago on a Sunday morning trip to the park. I liked how in this particular flower, all the stamen were standing straight up in a small group.
I shot this vertically as well. I’ll probably post that image in the dead of winter when we can all use a little bit of summer memory.

Things I’m Thankful to Cliff For… Trying your best to save my little kitten that didn’t make it.
Love the soft detail, great macro shot.
i really love this shot, the stamen remind me of tulips just about to open. excellent!
Beautiful macro shot. Love the rich colors. (I'm never good at those "take a guess" shots.)
Well, I had the food element of yesterday's mystery shot, just not the freshness :-)
Love today's abstract - at first I thought it might be a photo-negative which is a welcome further visual abstraction. I'll look forward to the vertical presentation when it's all gray and chilly out!
OH now this is my type of photo :-)
I can't wait tell this winter when you post it again to warm us all!
Finally i think i did well in your take a guess series, i said it was something edible ;-)
About the shot, the framing is spot on and so are the rich colors!
This is a gorgeous picture, Micki! Totally love its 'soft' quality. i'd loooove to have a high-resolution version to use for my wallpaper.
Yeah and i got yesterday's guess correct... sort of hurhur. :p
I always enjoy a good macro shot. Sharp subject, shallow dof, lovely detail. This one has the lot. Well done!
Indeed. This is more like art than photography. Brilliant!
These nice details give a fine abstract
Really good, I like the colours in this one.
Somehow, your macros look so much better than most around. I suspect it is because they are taken with feeling rather than a readout. And it shows.
really nice composition and beautiful colors...look like watercolor painting...nice soft tone:-)
gorgeous colors here... striking!!
Lovely:)
Sharpness is great!
Superb colors
I am going to do something I don't normally do for flower or macro shots (okay really rarely do), but this shot earns very quickly a well deserved coveted "I LIKEY" from the Subster. I don't know what it is but it just stikes all the right spots to me and say "bang, I dare you not to like me". Well I was to scared not to like it hence the kudos, beatiful macro and flower shot.
Definitely one of the best images I have seen from you. This is a keeper. Well done.
Suby
Nice colors and I love the DoF effects and the composition.
Lovely and great colors
This is a very prety macro. I love the focus here. You really work the macros well.
I just wish I had a macro lens...some day, but right now it's not priority.
Beautiful! Not everyday colors. Very nice.
I love this macro in purple and gold.
Beautiful shot with good framing and very nice colors.
