Flowers in the house

Back in late September when it was still too hot to be outside, I was practicing my macro shots. Brett had brought home several bunches of flowers for my birthday so I pulled out my macro lens and played around in the kitchen. I’m not really a creative person so I tend to shoot the same things over and over again.

I sprayed some of the flowers with water to try and do something with droplets but I feel like they still look the same every time I do this.

It’s hard for me to get the color right on red roses. I usually get the color blown out. After a week the roses started to get some dark edges and I thought this gave it an edgy look. I couldn’t decode whether I liked them with the water or not so I posted both.

Hitching a ride

I brought home some poinsettia plants over Thanksgiving weekend to brighten up the house for holidays.

When I was watering them before placing them in the living room, I noticed these guys on the leaves. They were smaller than by pinky fingernail. I carefully removed them and put them outside on a bush, but not before grabbing my camera and taking pictures of them.
