Macro Monday

The days just fly…and it is Monday again. In Sweden the first snow has arrived, and further north it is staying white.

My photos this week are from my garden last week – when we had some magical, glittering mornings.

Until reaching their full splendour

 

 

 

 

Grey Light and Faded Roses

Today we woke up to a grey day with hail, snow and heavy raindrops.

Clearly a day for staying in bed…

For a short second, a sun ray touched the vase with the faded roses –

… and then – everything went back to grey again. I feel lucky to snuggle up by the Asparagus africanus, that is covering the French windows in my living room. So grateful for a house to live in – roof over my head – and a warming meal.

 

Macro Monday

So, I finally bought myself a macro lens, something I have been thinking about for some years now. ”To See a World in a Grain of Sand…” – now more true than ever.

I hope you will enjoy following my attempts to find hidden worlds! I would love to hear your experiences and tips from your own macro photography as well. Learning new things are always a great joy.

So, here’s to Macro Monday!

 

Waiting For the Birds

My garden is preparing for sleep – but gives away golden gifts for the winter birds.

In My Garden Today

So, I finally decided to try macro. A walk in the garden and a first try.
