My attempt at a macro… not so easy since I have no tripod!
So misty you couldn’t see to the end of the street! 
My beautiful boy was so tired out by yesterday’s trip to the big park with our neighbours that he conked out on the sofa by 5pm last night – bless his wee soul!
Go check out more weekly winners over at Sarcastic Mom, and if you’re not taking part yet, join the club!

Really nice shots Marylin.. The macro makes me want to go blackberry picking (only 7 more months to go lol) How do you get the black border around your photos? It looks really neat and very professional… and sleeping children are always just perfect…

I love the second one. Fog lik that makes me think of Avalon. And what plant is the first? Cool details I just don’t know what kind of plant it is.

Thanks! It gets so misty sometimes here in Dundee – I have seen myself unable to see my feet on the pavements before!
The plant is just some weeds in my garden, brambles I *think*. I really should look these up before posting shouldn’t I?

Marylin, I LOVE that macro. For what it’s worth, I NEVER use a tripod when I take macros.

Thanks Rebecca! I never really feel like I get enough detail to class any shots as ‘proper’ macros.

Thanks Lotus! Hey, at least you have a tripod… J says he’s my tripod, but I don’t think I could balance my camera on top of him!

Nicely done, and I love the macro. I keep meaning to get a tripod, but I don’t have one, so I just have to go easy on the coffee before doing stuff like that.
The last shot is precious.
