I ♥ Macro ~ Under the Sea?

Image
I am so late I almost missed 'I Heart Macro' with Lori at Studio Waterstone It seems that the only time I have posted for weeks now, has been for 'i heart macro', but today we finally finished our last huge project for the summer, so hopefully, I can get back to creating something besides buildings and landscaping. (I am in the process of putting together a post about the greenhouse and the new yard;~) These all looked like 'under sea images' to me when I first looked at them☺ But they are actually garden shots (big surprise) White and Purple Kale And a really cool flower I can't remember the name of☺ Check out some Macro goodness by clicking on the pic♥

I Heart Macro.... Infused

 Infused Olive Oil Infused Olive Oil Can you believe my husband laughed at me when he came into the kitchen and saw me taking pictures of a half empty bottle of olive oil?  lol! Aloe  Stubby Cactus   Tall Cactus I grew the cacti from seed. I got one of those little indoor garden kits.  I didn't really expect much, but I ended up with three cute little cacti. They live on the window sill in the dining room;~) It has been a cool and very wet week around here so I went with the indoor "kitchen" version  of I Heart Macro. Now you should go see what everyone else has been up to over at Studio Waterstone I Heart Macro

I have been wanting to get in on this for quite a while now with  Lori Plyler over at Studio Waterstone . I really want to improve my camera skills. Hopefully this will help☺ I haven't spent ANY time on jewelry or sculpting (I miss it a lot) because I have been a "woman on a mission" this summer. We built a greenhouse so I could (hopefully) grow tomatoes and then I decided I was done trying to bring a dead lawn back to life, so we started over. A lot of work and the weather has only cooperated some of the time;-( I will  post about the greenhouse progress in a day or two (it really is amazing) But for today I have some Macro shots that I think came out quite well. They are all OOTC shots.
