Ratmammy Up Close and Personal

My good friend Ratmammy aka Bob and Blackie's mom created a blog showcasing her macro photography. Here's a sample of her work... isn't it beautiful? You can visit her Ratmammy Up Close and Personal blog here.

I'm ready for my close-up...

My buddy Ratmammy aka Bob and Blackie's mom (you can find her blog here) has been nagging encouraging me to take macro shots by utilizing the various settings on my camera. I'm a point and shoot sort of person... I didn't even realize that my camera had so many settings! (For the record, I have a Canon PowerShot S2 IS and I love it!) Here's a close-up of my kitty's face. She got annoyed with me pretty quickly so I decided to move on to more willing subjects - flowers!

I call this the "big pink flower". I have no idea what the name of this flower is... if anyone knows, will you please let me know? Thanks!

A white Carnation...

Pink, red and white carnations...


Tiger Lily...
