April Wrap-Up & My Day May

April ended on a boring note (photo-wise).  I never seemed to really get into that month's photo challenge.  I ended up just repeating things I've done a hundred times before, and more than once I had to use a sub-par photo because it was the best I managed to snap (at the last minute). 

...Maybe I've had enough of the structured photo challenges, for a while.  Since May snuck up on me (and yes, I maintain that "snuck" is as much a word as "sneaked"), I decided to be a little more "go with the flow" this month and just see how that goes. 

"My Day May" is just a silly way of saying that I'll take a photo of (or relating to) something I do on that particular day.  It may not be the biggest or most important thing I've done each day (in fact, it probably won't), but I'll try to keep them from being just a string of photos of pink roses with the caption "Today I looked at a rose." ;o)

Macro 30/30: Blade

Donald cut a couple of scrap boards we had left over from the patio cover.  He's making me a little clothesline.  :o)

Macro 29/30: One More Rose

...because the other photos I took turned out too blurry...

The roses are still going, but this bush is slowing down while a different variety is taking over the show.

Macro 28/30: Red Dragon

This spiky green plant is blooming again.   This is possibly the easiest plant in the whole world.

Macro 27/30: Grasshopper

Of some sort.

Macro 26/30: A Bed of Roses

This is probably not where the bug sleeps, but it sounds nice.

...a birdhouse as seen through a marble...

...Just hanging out on the patio swing...

Macro 17/30: Former Rose

I almost didn't see this spider hiding in a convenient knot on a crepe myrtle.

Macro 15/30: Coreopsis

Macro 13/30: Screws

...Yeah.  I wasn't feeling inspired yesterday, so we have a nice "textural study" photo.  ;o)
