Macro



TTexture, Color, Reflection and Newness...things to capture with the macro setting of the camera...

Texture: With atypical lows in our area, the water in the aggregate rock birdbath froze over. These 3/4" long airpockets adorned the outermost ring of the ice, like short spokes aimed toward the center.

Color: No, that is not a grapefruit and tomatoes! Those are the small red berries of a heavenly bamboo plant, the mature, half-dollar-sized tart fruit of the calamondin, and the blooms of a statis.

Reflection: These pen tops caught my eye as I was shopping.

Newness: In my hand I hold a tiny container that I have hidden "somewhere in town" for those who enjoy the GPS-based sport called geocaching. Those who find it can then sign their name on the rolled up sheet of paper I put inside.
