a macro view of things

I had a quiet day today, the sun finally decided to return so Katie and I went to the dog park and played fetch. I ran some errands and now I am just relaxing at home. I feel tired for some reason today, I think I am still bagged from the working night shift Tuesday night...they just keep getting harder and harder! I got my camera strap from Kristie today, so exciting! I haven't taken any pictures of it yet, but will....stayed tuned for that. I didn't have much to post tonight, so I just took a few pictures with my close up lenses of some flowers on the deck, Sami has inspired me to practice more with my close up filters thanks to her new macro class she has started. So here are a couple "macro's"....I really really "NEED" a macro lens!

The first flower is a perennial called Lupine that I planted last year. I was delightfully surprised to see it sprouting like crazy this year and the flowers are soooo neat looking! The second is just of one of the leaves to the flower. The fluff on the flower is the white stuff floating everywhere, thank goodness I don't have allergies, I feel sorry for those that do! TFL! I hope you all have a great weekend!
