UP CLOSE
I stayed home from work sick today…
It was pouring out, the weather matched the way I felt, dark and icky.
When it stopped I was tired of being inside and needed some air, so I took a walk around the yard and ended up crawling through the wet grass.
Maybe not the best thing for most sick people, but it sure made me feel better.
The morning glories are still sending out a few last hopes.
I love, love, love, my hen’s and chicks… They remind me of my childhood.
My mom grew them by the barrel full.
This seed pod reminded me of Murisopsis and her incredible pottery.
Living on the Edge!
Caught in a web
While I was trying to shoot the great drops in this web I almost set my hand on this…
He was super still and very patient,
considering that because I am shooting with a cheap piece of magnified glass,
I have to set my lens right on top of him.
I don’t know about him, but I will probably have nightmares tonight. :-s
What makes YOU feel better?

I love hens and chicks too~ my momma got me started.
LOVE the shots~ but I skipped over the spider ones. shiver shiver Whenever I shoot them, it takes me awhile, bcs I keep running off screaming like a girlie girl.
Hope you are feeling better!
Great pics, as always! Hope you’re feeling better soon…
beautiful photos Ang- taking a long ride on the motorcycle makes me feel better- usually! LOL
I love the up close – Thanks for thinking of me! I do wish I could make am orb of that seed pod. It speaks to me. The spider on the other hand will definitely give me bad dreams!! Hot chocolate make me feel better…
I love the detail in these pics. The spider picture will remind me to shave my legs! LOL I like hens and chicks, too. Hope your day tomorrow will be sunny!

GREAT pics, Angie! WOW! I love the water droplets! I have been sick, too. Just a rotten fever, sore throat and cold, but UGH! I don’t know if taking pictures would make me feel better, but I love looking at yours!
I’m so sorry you feel bad! If I was there I would make you chicken soup. I sure do like your pictures – they are just amazing. Things look different up close. Peace
gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! I love the shot of the morning glory and the water droplets! Amazing!
I’m sorry you’re feeling bad…hope you’re better soon.

nice pics. what makes me feel better? good friends, good food, music, ice cream
@mercyless1 - Sometimes ice cream makes me feel good too… but not when I was puking all night. lol It was a water and bread kinda day.
I love your photos! amazing
Do you actually use a magnifying glass for your macro-shots? hmm.. I’m going to have to try that!
These are stunning Ang,I never get tired of your photos!
These are some of the most spectacular macro shots I’ve seen on Xanga. I most definitely need to get a better camera.
Gorgeous pics, Ang! You know what makes me feel better.
I cant believe the water drops on the spider… and it’s hairs, that’s crazy. Hope you feel better. I wish I were staying in today. It’s cold, cloudy and windy and my left ear is KILLING me..
great pics!
Lovely photography. Isn’t it amazing what’s out there when we “crawl through the grass”. Not so sure about the spider, though. That is a little too up close and personal for me
I feel better listening to my favorite music and working in art. Those are really great photos!
