Just a Couple of Buds

I've recently found that I have several closeted Morning Macro visitors... friends who had, until we got together recently, never expressed any interest in the photo explorations posted here. So to all my vocal and non-vocal visitors, thanks! Let me know what you like, don't like, want to see more of, are curious about, or have ideas about. Considering that it would take about twelve of my highest-magnification macro/micro photos just to view an entire postage stamp, there is a lot of world out there that we can explore through these pictures.

These two photos are flower buds. The one above was about the diameter of a matchstick, the one below about the size of your average marble. I like how very different the two are.

We have seen flower buds up close before at Morning Macro, here and here and here.
Send me your suggestions for something tiny that you'd like to see big.

Flower Power Extra!

Above is a flowering bud from a bouquet in our living room. The bouquet has started out as a deep grape color, and is now slowly changing to white. It's quite bizarre. The flower above was about 5mm across. I like how the folds of the folded petals make a star-like pattern.

Our next photo, above, is a shot of baby's breath, up close. Typically, we see these tiny, half-centimeter flowers garnishing bunches of flowers in a bouquet. Here, it is a monster bloom, sparkling in the light. Below is another view of the baby's breath flower.

Swirly



Here's a tiny snail shell, about a centimeter across, found on a pier in Muskoka, Canada.  I really like how detailed this tiny specimen is. No matter how small you go, there are still delicate details in the little things I've observed.
