"i heart macro"

I've been "missing" for a couple of weeks--missing getting my posts out and missing being a part of "i heart macro!"    I tried to visit as many of the sites as I could each Sunday, just wasn't able to pull my own together.   Well, this week I'm back with a conglomeration of photo subjects--but each has something to do with blooms, glass, or color...    

A left-over flower from Valentine's Day.  

These don't really require water, 

they just dry as they are and keep the same colors.   

I love these!

#14:   Glass and Color 

I was remarking the other day, 

many people begin making jewelry 

by making memory-wire bracelets.

I've been making jewelry for years, 

and just made my first bracelet with memory wire!  

This is it!

I selected these class beads out 

of a huge jar of  misfits at a bead shop.   

Seldom was it possible to find 2 alike, 

but it didn't matter for this project!  

 I just went for the colors and glass I liked best!

I know I've said it many times before,  

I love colored glass.  

 I have collections of blue glass 

as well as glass bottles in a variety of colors.   

I enjoy setting them out 

where the sun will shine through them 

or reflect light from them.

It's so peaceful.

A textured glass vinaigrette bottle is used as a vase.

That's it for me this week!   Please visit the other great closeups at:

Have a great week!

P.S.  This isn't really a macro shot, 

and I don't participate in the shadow photography group, 

but always enjoyed seeing them on T.'s blog.  

So saw this out my front window and thought I'd snap it.
