'In the spring I have counted one hundred and thirty-six different
kinds of weather inside of four and twenty hours.' - Mark
Twain
Spring is definitely in the air, soggy yards, warmer temperatures
and I wore flip-flops yesterday.
I wish these pale pink tulips were from an Ohio yard but they are
from Trader Joe's. They are still pretty,
but I am looking forward to having flowers soon grow outside my door.
My birthday was yesterday.
I asked for an olloclip macro 3-in-1 lens for my birthday. Guess what? I got one. This daisy picture was among my first
attempts at using it. I can see many
more iphone macro shots in my future...
Today I am joining Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday. I used Kim's texture flow on my top image.
Thank you for stopping by!
Have a great week!
Michelle
Happy Birthday Michelle ! I love your photos today, the tulips are so pretty and the macro of the gerbera is stunning !
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Michelle!! Theses ollo clips are fun. I was more than upset that mine didn't fit the new upgraded iPhone- love the tulips. TJ's has the best flowers.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, Michelle! Pretty tulips, but I can understand that you want the ones growing outside. Mine are already done and the French Lilac is blooming. Crazy world.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, yesterday and Happy St. Patrick's Day, today!
ReplyDeleteLove your photos. The pale tulips are so pretty, and the macro of the flower is stunning. I'm looking forward to all the fabulous shots that I'm sure will flow from your new lens.
All the best,

Happy birthday to the wee bonnie lass! Can't wait to see all the photos you will take with the new lens. What fun. Macro is a whole new thing that I really haven't explored much. Need to do that.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Michelle! Oh, I always wondered what my pictures would be like with the macro lens. I can't believe how close up they are. This daisy is gorgeous! Love all the colors swirled in the picture. What a great present from your family.
ReplyDeleteHappy St. Patrick's Day.

ReplyDeleteMichelle, Happy Birthday! And isn't it wonderful to get just what you asked for! Your images today showcase your diverse skills as a photographer - one soft and lovely still life so organic and earthy and the other vibrant and up-close and tack sharp. Beautiful images! I always look forward to your collections of quotes and often add them to my own list of favorites. Thank you for sharing!

ReplyDeleteWOWza, loving your first shot. I love the natural lines in the shot of the bending tulips. I have seen this a few times this week and it is a brilliant way to shoot them.
