I’m participating in the online adventure travel magazine LetsBeWild.com’s Wild Weekly Photo Challenge for bloggers. This week’s Challenge is: Macro Photography! Remember you can click on each photo to view a larger size.

The funny thing is, Let’s Be Wild used a dragonfly to illustrate this week’s challenge theme. Hey, wait, I’ve got one of those too!

And to continue with insects, I’ve got bees too.

I also love taking close-ups of flowers, in the case below a yellow lilium.

And finally a beautiful hibiscus, showing off his pistil and stamens.

Love your photos. I couldn’t open the first one to make it bigger. 😦

Thanks! I must have saved the photo at a smaller size so it didn’t have a bigger size to view. I changed it so you can try it now.

    Thanks for letting me know and I’m glad you like it. Dragonflies are very cool looking but they really don’t stop to let you take their picture. 😦

Fabulous as always. I really like these close-ups, and my sister loved the butterfly close-up on the calendar.

Thank you! I’m a big picture person but nature has a way of designing everything to the minute detail so it’s great to observe them up close. I have more hibiscus photos I need to go through for a couple of posts. Their colors are so vibrant and I love their long pistils.

Thank you! It was pure luck to be able to capture it. I have to thank my son for spotting the dragonfly in the first place.

I’m glad you like them, Jennay! I almost missed the deadline, as I forgot about the post until late last night. It would have been too bad since I focus mostly on close-up photography.
