It's just another Macro Monday!

Come take a walk with me through the websites of four photographers who are sharing their love of macro photography every other Monday throughout the year.  We shoot what we love, what makes us happy,  to hone our skills,  to stretch our minds and our imaginations, and because it's who we are! 

Can. Not. Wait.

 

If I'm shooting macros of my tomato plants at this point in the summer, I'm thinking I won't be seeing any edible tomatoes for quite a while.  Good thing my neighbors let me poach from their plants!

Don't get too excited for me with this last one.  It's smaller than a golf ball!

Just hanging around...

I've been waiting for weeks to see a butterfly on my butterfly bushes.  The blooms seemed delayed this year, but with all the rain we've had I couldn't understand why.  I was ready to give up and think that the butterflies had gone the way of the hummingbirds, whose feeders I still even though I have only seen one or two in years. Finally, this week, I found hope.

   And a happy missed shot!

Baby "C" and his Baptism

I had the privilege of witnessing this little guy's baptism a couple of week's ago. It was a wonderful day, filled with family, friends, and a supportive church community. 

 

He'll be a blessed child of God!

 

Don't you just love how his little fingers are already folded?

The Godparents!

He barely made a peep! 

 

Baby "C's" mom has the most incredible voice. 

 I have no idea how she was able to keep herself together and sing "Find Your Wings".   

I'm sure there wasn't a dry eye in the sanctuary.

One of his grandfathers.

 

One of his great-grandmothers!

 

 

 Two more great-grandparents!

Two of his aunts and uncles!

At the reception after the service...

Two more grandparents!

This connection was melting my heart!

 

This is one of baby "C's" second cousins or something like that!  Their mothers are, each, one of three granddaughters to one of the great-grandmothers.  The three cousins were all pregnant at the same time and due within a few weeks of each, two on the same day.  One was born a few weeks early and these two came along a little bit later.

While outside last weekend I found a few critters to keep my company.  I was weeding and replanting some flowers that had reseeded themselves in places I didn't want them to grow!  There was also the yearly task of removing the leaves and debris from the river rock that surrounds our house.  Many of these critters made their home in the moist, muddy environment.  

I just loved this baby worm!
