Who Knew Turtles/Dinosaurs Grow On Trees!

  It had been a couple of weeks since I went out with my camera so went to the Sunken Gardens.  I started warming up with a couple shots of the trees, the soft greens and fruit on them were interesting but I didn't realize how interesting until I got home and looked at them on the computer!  When you zoom in on the 2nd one it reminds me of a baby turtle or dino (because I've seen so many baby dino's) LOL

Sign of Life

  It's always interesting to me when we travel some of the back roads on our trips to see what a appears to be an abandoned, run down house or farm but will have an active mailbox.  I wonder if there really is someone living there, are they just using it as a mailing address or if there are shenanigans going on that we don't want to know about or to get too close.  

Macro and Extension Tubes

I have enjoyed deconstructing the bouquet of flowers I got from Dan, today I  played with just my macro lens and also using extension tubes.  I also purchased a generic macro rail which is so very helpful, it works great for focus stacking.

36 Years and Still Crazy in Love

  Blessed beyond measure, that's what these years have been and I can only hope for at least that many more, married to my best friend.  He brought me flowers and I have been slowly deconstructing the bouquet.  As I have been taking these photos it overwhelms me looking at all the detail, differences and beauty in these few flowers that God has designed and this is such a minuscule sample of  all the millions he has created not including all the other types of foliage.  God is such an amazing Creator!!! 

I have no idea what this flower is but it was all decked out with ruffles!
