MCP Project 52 ~ Week 29

Week 29 Theme ~ Get In Close

This is about as close as I can get with my current Canon lens.  I would love to purchase a macro.  Unfortunately, food, clothes and shelter for the family come first. 🙂

Lily

One of the few remaining lilies in my flower garden.  The deer decided to let the plants grow just until the flower buds formed and then ate the tops off.  Thanks for saving this one for me.

MCP Project 52 ~ Week 23

Week 23 Theme ~ Enchanted

I took this photo of these beautiful flowers on a crab apple tree in our backyard.  When we moved to our house nearly 12 years ago, this tree didn’t look as though it would make it another year.  Woodpeckers had made holes in the trunk.  There were several dead branches.  As the years passed by, I kept thinking the tree had bloomed for the last time.  But once again this year, the buds opened to display these pretty blooms.  I took this photo last week just a couple of days before we had strong winds that made the pedals cascade down like rain making our backyard look enchanted.
