Nothing significant has happened this week - yawn! We have done some
making and we have been to
Queen Elizabeth Country Park but I have already blogged about those. Otherwise it has been
routine (blogged about that too!), job hunt and mostly grey, rainy weather. I have however been trying to perfect my close up shots with my little camera so this is what I am showing you this week. A close up of the not so often seen female catkin.
If you would like to see more of my little Photo Project take a peep

What an unusual flower...is it a succulent. You did a nice job with the close-up. Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteIt's a female catkin - usually you see the male ones which look a bit like cats tails but the female ones are much smaller but rather stunning in close up!
DeleteUnusual shot - lovely though.
ReplyDeleteThe first splash of spring is always worth celebrating
ReplyDeleteGreat close up, mine never seem to work that well!
ReplyDeleteI found the macro widget on my camera and my close ups are much better now - with a bit of help from Picnik!
DeleteWow that's an amazing shot! I didn't even know there was a female catkin. Lovely
ReplyDeleteReally lovely! Just about to burst open...I love spring!
ReplyDeleteStunning, Would be great to see a shot every day of that one emerging!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, that's a lovely pic. Very unusual too, I don't think I've ever seen a female catkin before *wanders off to do some googling on catkins* :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat close up, it looks very unusual :)
ReplyDeleteVery unusual. How did you take this?
ReplyDeleteJust using the macro zoom widget on our compact digital - then a bit of help from Picnik after!
DeleteWell I have. Learnt something new - I never knew you could ave make and female catkins! It's very pretty and a great macro shot xx
ReplyDeleteThat is stunning! Love the vibrant shocking pink!
