Stuff N Fluff

I have been a fan of Macro Monday over at Lisa's Chaos for a while, but haven't ever participated yet. I don't have a macro lens for my Canon yet, but I have been practicing my close up shots.

Here are a few that I took recently while I was at my parent's house in Wyoming that I thought turned out really nicely.

Look at all the little seeds, ready to be carried away on the wind.

I don't even know what kind of plant this is. Probably some kind of weed, but I still thought it was beautiful in it's own way. It was reminiscent of a dandelion, but much bigger.


How was that for my first attempt at Macro Monday?

    They are beautiful even if they are a weed and you showed them very well. You don't need a macro lens, the one you have seems to do the job well (I will admit, though, that macros and tripod can give amazing results.)

    Very nice...considering how much I hate those fluffy nuisances.

    That's pretty good for not having a Macro lens!

    My oldest son calls these "blowies". He loves them.

    Wonderful! I took some shots of this kind of plant awhile back too. It was HUGE and like the size of a large softball! Amazing!

    You did wonderful and I am so glad you joined in to play! I don't have anything this week, but I hope to jump back in next week.

    Beautiful! The first one is my favorite, that blue sky is wonderful. I would have guessed these were dandelions, but I don't have a second guess if you say that's not it...

    They look great! I've always loved to blow these into the wind. :)
    I want to get a macro lens, too, hopefully one of these days!

    Nice shots! I love photographing the dandelion seeds. They are so intricate.
    I'd love a macro lens but for now the macro setting on my camera has to do. :)
