Week 24


f8, 1/250 sec., ISO-200, 100 mm macro

Week 24 - August 12-18, 2012

Well I have gotten a bit behind in my postings...yikes!  Playing a bit of catch up right now!!

Today's photo is a close up of what I call "thistle fluff".  These to me are the summer version of "snowflakes".  I don't want to start thinking about them just yet.  Plenty of time for that much later in the year!

This was one of the first times that I got really close to the fluffs and was amazed at the gorgeous patterns.  I love the delicate fine lines and the way they form a perfect circle.  These are fun to photograph and can be a challenge with the wind.  If Santa brings me a tripod, then I will certainly be trying that out next year!
