"close-up"

For this week's theme I chose I shot from a Longwood Gardens, a local horticultural center.  I went with a bunch of girls from an online photography group that I belong to.  The men in the group, for some reason, avoid flowers at all costs!

"innocence"

The perfect photo for this week's shot came from my archives.   This precious little one was born six months ago.

"small"

I walked outside to find something to use for this week's theme and actually found a few things that fit.  Here are two.  The first is really what I intended to use.  The second is another shot that I took for a challenge in another photography group.  I had so much response on the second shot that I figured I'd share it here as well.

A teeny, tiny sunburst!

"fresh"

The only thing planted in my garden this year and they already more than make-up for the lack of tomatoes last year!  

These grape tomatoes reseeded themselves. 

  

I can just pick one of these off the vine and eat it like an apple!  There's not a tomato I can buy in the grocery store that compares to the fresh ones from my garden!

Finally! Butterflies on the butterfly bush!

Last year we replanted an area that had been taken over by some huge, but dieing, evergreens.  Three of the plants Michael chose to put in the bed were butterfly bushes.  It took a long time for me to actually see butterflies on those bushes, but while mulching this week, two kept me company!  Both swallowtails, but different colors.  I was only too happy to forego mulching for a while and run for my camera!

"symmetry"

I had every intention of going out this morning or this evening for a new shot.  I had my location all picked out, too. Unfortunately, sometimes the responsibilities of life get in the way.  Today was one of those days and I didn't get the shot I had planned.  

This shot was the first one that I thought of, though, when I saw the theme for this week. 

Some days I like the color.  

Other days, the black and white.
