This week we are posting close up/macro photos. This is probably my favorite type of photography. I am always amazed by the little surprises in the photos once they are on the computer – things you don’t see when you take the picture. About a year ago, I invested in a “super” macro lens which brings things even closer. The picture below was taken with that lens and is the center of a poinsettia.
Although you get amazing detail – the lens has a huge learning curve.
The next 2 photos were taken with the traditional macro lens. I loves the detail and colors of the caterpillar and you can also see why pinecones hurt when you step on them.

All very beautiful Nora. I especially like the caterpillar on the flower!!
Thanks Leola!!
Oh I love your photos🧡! And I must check into this super macro lens!
I shoot with Canon. It’s the MPE 65. Sometimes you can get them refurbished for a little less than new
I will need to check it out, thank you!
Nora, wonderful macro images. My favorite is the centipede. Thanks for joining in the fun!
Thanks Anne!
Beautiful response Nora – I’ve often admired your macro shots in the past. That caterpillar image is amazing!
