Yellow Spring Surprise

Blogging and photography have been pushed far, far down on my to-do-list the last few months.  I miss them both, so today I am making the time to publish a “Macro Mystery” post.  If it’s been so long that you don’t remember what this is, or if you’re new here at the Merry Hearts Medicine blog, I’ll explain…

Macro photography is so fun for me that I created a blog game with it.  It’s probably something thousands of other people have done — I post an extreme close-up of an object to see if you can guess what the object is.  If you have an idea as to what it might be, please leave a comment below!  In a few days (hopefully), I’ll reveal the answer in another post.

You may figure this one out easily, even though the photo quality is not as great this time.  (Sorry about that. I’m adjusting to a new camera.)

So, give me your best guess!  What is this spring thing?

Springtime Surprises

Presenting a new challenge for you from my front yard…This one would have completely stumped me a few years ago.  What do you think the subject of this photo is?

Here, I’ll back off a bit so you can see it better:

Let me add a couple more photos to make you wonder.  The following photos are from the same subject, mind you, even though they look nothing like the first two.

Photo 101: Glass 3.0

Day 17 goal:  Add interest to your photos by incorporating glass in an interesting or unusual way.

This time, I focused on the reflections glass provides.

Making use of my new 10X magnifying mirror. 

I like the way details of the camera lens show up and the extra reflections in the lens when I used the flash in the first photo.

I’m always desiring to learn and improve upon my photography.  If you have the time, I’d really appreciate hearing your opinion:  Would you compare this post to the previous two and leave a comment telling me which one you like best and why?  Thanks!

Glass 2.0 — Textured antique windows and doorknobs look great through a macro lens.

Glass 1.0 — This was a popular post of mine that I enjoyed making the first time I participated in Photo 101.
