Sunday Stills~Macro Pics

~If I work at being happy, it usually works.~
~Ella Sommers 1898~

Macro shots is this week's challenge at Sunday Stills.

Ed was givin' us a break from outside shots because of the frustrating weather most everyone is experiencing...but my indoor lighting skills suck...so between rain showers, I went back outside.


I Used to be Purple



My garden is all bare, but I hadn't snipped off these chive heads and they were about the most interesting thing I could find! They're so ugly, they're almost pretty!


Last Summer I Was Pretty



Check out more macro shots by going here in the comments.

    Actually, I thought you might post some winter vegetation, and I'm not disappointed. Pants in winter have a whole different kind of beauty.

    Great texture, and that first photo has such an appealing design with all those stems.

    Yeah, even dry winter things have a beauty. It's in the shape and texture. :)

    Weird how they look so pretty even though they're dead and dried up. But of course, folks like to use dried flowers for decoration, so it's not to strange. I think I like the color the best and the interesting texture. That first one could be enlarged and framed and placed in a bedroom. It has a calming feel to it.

    Nice job!

    I do better with outdoors shots too. This time of year mine tend to have lots of snow in them! Your chive head sure has a unique look for the winter! Good job!

    Even in the winter, the plants know that black, taupe, and white make a perfect ensemble :) nice shots!
