Sunday Stills - Closeup/Macro

These are my favorite photos to take but I've quickly come to realize I need a true macro lens. I attempted to buy one yesterday but the camera store didn't have one that would fit my camera :( So I'm still using the lens I have. Anyway, here are my entries for today:

This is a protea. They are succulent type plants (think cactus type) with these beautiful vibrant flowers. They grow on the Big Island in the volcano fields (hence the succulent characteristic).

This is what it looks like most of the time.

I've taken a whole bunch more macros this week you can look at the previous posts to see some of them.

Now I'm off to Sunday Stills to see everyone else entry.
