How creativity seems to colour every day of my life

Macro Monday...

1 November 2010

I love Autumn... the plants as they die back often take on a new type of beauty...
My second week taking part in Macro Monday...
I thought the stamens on this blackberry blossom were beautiful... sadly it has missed being a blackberry this year but it reminded me of the tassel heads on the clematis...

The dead ragwort blossom head was beautiful... I loved the star shapes left long after the blossom has gone.

The rushes are all dying back... they go a beautiful shade of yellow ochre and the flower head has long since turned to a seed head and lost its seeds...

Amidst so much plant life dying back the new growth on the whins (gorse) was beautifully green...

There is a beauty in flowers and berry bushes as they start to die. I like photographing things as they pass over just as much as when they bloom. Great photos!!
Thank you as well for visiting my blog. I hope you come back soon.

 

great set of macro shots. But my favourite is the sticky thing in the end. :)

 

Wonderful shallow DoF in the second image.
