I Heart Macro

During Easter weekend, I was able to get out and take pictures for the first time since my knee surgery.  I took an obnoxious amount of pictures of our ornamental cherry tree!  Then today, after taking a week to recover from overdoing it last weekend, I went out and took some more!  My knee is letting me know about it this evening.  I got really excited today when I was able to get a shot of a bee on a dandelion.  I'ts not as macro as I wanted it to be, but my knee could take only so much squatting.







Well, I guess that's enough cherry blossoms for now.  I think that of all the flowering trees, this is my favorite!

I seem to be having trouble linking to Lori's blog.  I'll provide the link as soon as I'm able.

  1. Yay!!! I am so happy to hear you were able to get out and enjoy the weather and the blooms. Beautiful photos, as always. Just yesterday I was walking past a tulip and thought of you and how you would photograph it. Thanks for the inspiration!
