Sunshine’s Macro Monday – 11 and Kate’s Friday Fun: Reptile
To me macro is getting in close not just a whole flower but what’s inside or not just an small insect but perhaps their wing up or body so close that you can see ever so much. So today let’s get up close with an Eastern Water Dragon and see eye to eye.
The wonderful colours that you don’t normally notice

I agree but I’m not sure I’d want to get so close with my mini iPad! Great photos!

Water Dragons are harmless. They are fast runners if you get too close Sheree 🙂

Superb! and the way he(?) looks at the camera one seems to see him thinking … (I’ve watched Jurassic park once too often, it seems).

I agree with you completely! I’m saving for a better lens, but I still get amazed with what I see when I zoom in. Plants and creatures have so much beauty we don’t see from a distance. I love your lizard (he’s a lizard, correct?)!

Yes Lisa, He is an Eastern Water Dragon. These were taking using telephoto function. Flowers and things that don’t move I use the macro function on my Canon PowerShot 🙂

I have lizards in my yard. I have yet to get a good picture. They are fast movers. Yours is a great pic!

“Can see where so much”
Ahhhh – indeed
And the song was cool with the mood and use of instruments – that piano was used- and at times the different ones sang and had their own messages
–
It was pleasant to hear the instruments because a lot of contemporary music has less

Thanks Yvette 🙂 An oldie from a New Zealand/Australian band. So much great music. Well worth a listen to some of their other music as well. I think piano is second to guitars in rock music for me
