Macro Fun

I guess I am a little late with the "fun" part...(yesterday's MM theme).  Thank goodness it is Tuesday, although since retiring, I often forget what day it is. 

This was a day when I got an awful lot done, but none of it was related to photography.  In the late afternoon, I realized I had better get busy on a blip and went out into the backyard with my macro lens, on the hunt.  It is a warm, sunny day so I thought there would be some sort of critter for me to snap, but I only found one yellow jacket, looking quite menacing while sitting on very unattractive brown leaf.  I decided to pass on him. 


I have often admired the fungi shots that I have seen here on blip, but I don’t often come across them, and certainly never in my backyard, yet lo and behold, there they were….a group of very tiny little mushrooms, clearly a result of 4 days of rain.  Some critter had already damaged them a bit so I grabbed a shot of the best of them.  This isn’t nearly up to the standard I have seen here, but it’s a first for me and certainly will work for Tiny Tuesday.

Many thanks to jensphotos for hosting TT for the next couple of weeks.
