A very nice variety of macro shots. I really liked the water droplets, and the shroom shots. Nice job. :)

I liked the rain photo too.
I ALWAYS like close, close shots of water drops . . . bright, shiny little crystal globes!

I love these macro shots. I love water shots so your rain drops have to be my favorite. : )

Cathy said...

Yes. Macro. It causes us to 'see' the world in ways we otherwise would/ could not.

YEARS ago I took a drawing course which required me to visualize flowers, trees, cooking pots - by climbing in and out among the surfaces.

I 'saw' like I'd never seen before.

That's what your pictures do for me.

dibear, thanks, I can never resist rain drops

June, thank you, same here

Lisa, thanks, they are so much fun!

JB, thanks!

WB, thanks, I love the way they seed themselves and spread around the yard.

OE, thanks, it was so nice to see a honey bee. They are getting so rare.

LInda, thanks, alas,it is just a ground cherry and will just wither away without ever getting pretty.

JR, thanks, I love macros!

Cathy, thanks, I know just what you mean. I took a painting class too, years ago, wherein our first task was to paint a tiny section of a cluttered still life...just to learn to look. It changed how I looked at things.

danardoyle, thanks, they look cool this time of year

Janice, thanks!

Achieve, thanks, I can never resist rain drops

Sofia, thanks!

Ann, it is a feather off his neck. He actually has a very long tail, but hasn't started shedding those feathers yet.
