It has been quite rainy the past two days, and on my daily walk today, I noticed a beautiful purple flower on the vines covering my neighbor's fence. I went and grabbed my camera and took a trek around the yard taking macro shots of whatever caught my eye. Enjoy!
My cat Tiger!
Don't know the name of this flower, but love the water drops on it.

Fly on a watermelon blossom. Was excited to get this one.I thought he would fly away as I got the camera closer!
Baby watermelon, about the size of your pinky finger.

Love the purple flower with droplets on, beautiful, it almost looks digitally enhanced. (P.s. I think my lighthouse cat is just wondering why he's been left there alone!)
Wow, these are some great macro photos, Tom.
The purple flower is unreal - at first glance it looked like an outer space rendering. The middle source of light and gradients of the flower are so amazing. Awesome!
And the photo of Tiger, well, that is simply one cute face.

Thanks for your comment about Fleet Foxes video on my blog. I think that is very impressive you have played around with stop animation.
I love photography, too! These are wonderful. I find it so relaxing to take my camera out and get some rare shots.
great photos Tom. that purple flower is awesome and the rose is beautiful. I just love how clear the raindrops are
Hi Tom, I love that purple one! It looks lke it could be made into a poster. :)
Thanks, Kate! I agree, photography can be quite relaxing, and digital makes it even more so, because you can shoot and shoot and not worry about wasting film if you don't get a perfect shot the first time.
Carli: My neighbor told me what kind of flower that purple one is yesterday, and now I can't remember again! :P And the rose we got at Lowes. We bought six, and they have been the best roses.
Jess: Yes, it would make a great poster. Unfortunately, my camera's focus can be hit or miss since I have to focus thru the LCD. I can get pretty close, but it will never be good enough to blow up large. One day I hope to get and SLR camera with better lenses!
These are gorgeous Tom! Very well done indeed! It will be great when you get the better lenses, because you could make such beautiful posters. Your work could put some others I've seen to shame!
Oh, and, of course, Tiger is a complete doll! I just want to scratch him behind his/her(?) little ears.
Thanks, Linda.
Tiger is a boy, and he luuuuvs to be scratched behind his ears!
oh wow Tom...you are an amazing photog too!!! nice work
Lovelty photos Tom!
