i heart macro Sunday

I wish there was a way to take the kiddo's energy and bottle it.  She doesn't typically walk.  She runs.  Everywhere.  Today, we took a walk around the arboretum just to try to "use up" her excess energy.  (It didn't work.)

It was a bit chilly, but the kiddo loved running around the lake and snapping pictures of everything.  I still get a kick out of seeing her, camera in hand, crouching over a leaf or bush for the "perfect" shot.

I was mesmerized by a wheat plant (I think).  A few fuzzy blooms on the inside had collected droplets of water.  I must have taken 20 pictures of this plant, but I will only bore you with a few.  :)





I was also taken with this branch.  I didn't realize until I got home, but since it was a cloudy day, this color picture looks to be more black and white.

  8. I'm a big fan of capturing water droplets with photography. Your wheat plant shot is really fabulous. I like the softness of the fuzz of the plant with the liquidity of the water. Really cool!

  9. I know what you mean about the kiddo... when my son was little, he never crawled, he never walked, he just ran. I always said that if he went at regular speed he would probably tip over! He still runs everywhere, just not as often. :-)

    Your photos here are all just wonderful! I need to get out more!

  10. Yes, now I know why my mother said, {in an exasperated voice}: "youth is wasted on the young". Children's energy is an amazing, almost mind boggling thing. Love the water drops of the spray of wheat...great color and macro.
    Cheers,
