There are lots of beautiful Australian native flowers. Paper daisies are now one of my favourites. I saw various colours at the gardens I visited on Thursday and I bought a bunch home. IMG_7037 (1)

They were a perfect subject for some macro photos.IMG_7085-2IMG_7086-2IMG_7087-2IMG_7088-2

All the other British coins can be arranged to depict the same coat of arms.IMG_8849

There is a shortage of eggs here at the moment. Changes in packaging standards and high demand for free range and organic eggs meant our usual brand was not available.

So we picked up a different box containing ten eggs, not a dozen.

This is what we found when we opened the lid.

There was a feeling of wonder going through my mind as I took these photos.

Wonder at the delicate structure of the leaves, at the rain drops clinging to the tips.

I thought I’d take it easy after last month’s A to Z blog challenge.

But…..

My Photo A Day group has a sub text this month, as well as the daily photo prompts.

Macro May Madness.

So I’m feeling challenged.

It would be fine if I would just take one photo, but I don’t. I take a few, different angles, different light, perhaps different subjects. I can tell that macro madness is going to take over my month.

Here are a few close up photos to start the month.

The prompt for the 5th is button … I cant’ decide. Which would you choose?

I is for … Ice

The intricate design of ice crystals and ice formation is intriguing.

D is for … Dandelion.

I’ve seen some beautiful macro photos of dandelions, so wanted to try it myself.

These are taken with my iphone and olloclip lense.

I’m delighted with the results so linking this to Claudette’s weekly series Emotography

It’s also a perfect contender for Jude’s Garden Series challenge. This month she asks us to get a little closer.
