I've really gotten in to taking close up pictures with the super macro setting on our camera lately. I love how part of the object is in focus and the background is blurred. I keep looking for more blooms everywhere and this is a hibiscus bloom I shot yesterday in our backyard. It's amazing how intricate and detailed flowers can be, and most of us don't really pay too much attention. I have noticed that the kids at school always notice more details....for example, one little girl said she could tell these two twin boys apart because one of them had darker freckles! I need to try to be more like that sometimes!It may be a little while before the leaves really start turning colors, but we seem to be hanging on to our mild summer weather and the plants and flowers are happy. This morning we took a walk before church and it really felt like a brisk fall morning....finally! I guess I have to start planning for when the temperatures dip low enough to bring the plants inside. Where am I going to put them all!!??!!
