Last Friday we posted a photo of the first tulip that bloomed in our garden this year. This week, we have the very same tulip, except that it’s a macro shot of the tulip’s stamen.
Macro stamen… TOTAL COOLNESS!!!
2010 Penny
We finally received a 2010 penny in our change and were dismayed by its sight. Though the front was kept standard, the penny has a new look on the back for some odd reason.
The back has much to be desired…
We’re not sure who came up with the Captain America shield theme, but we don’t like it — and not simply because we’re not a fan of change. The Lincoln Memorial on the back of the previous years of the penny made sense to us since Abe Lincoln was on the front and gave the penny an austere of authority and worth.
This new back utilizes a different definition of austere…
Not only is the look different, but the weight and make up of the penny seems to have changed dramatically as well. It feels significantly lighter and thinner to the touch — and reminds us old older, weak currency, such as early 1950s Serbian Dinara coins and the early 1920s German Mark coins.
Ants Marching
This is a macro shot of some ants inside of a freshly watered bluebell flower.
Oddly enough, it reminds us of the charity coin bins. The kind that makes the coin turn around and around, going faster and faster as it gets closest to the bottom.
Macro Bee Balm Blooms
ere are some macro shots of bee balm blooms. The first being in the shade and the second two being in the evening sun.
They’re just awesome blooms.
Long Legged Fly
We happened to be in the right place, at the right time and with the right lens attachment on our camera.
This long legged fly that was no bigger than the nail on our pinky finger was nice enough to pose on a lily for a quick macro shot… TOTAL COOLNESS!!!
