NOTICE TO NEIGHBORS:

I have run out of buds in my yard to investigate. Pay no mind to me in your side, back, and front yards swaying back and forth, holding my breath to get a macro shot with my macro clip. I'll be back a total of 3 more times this month to see how this particular bud progresses over time.

Sincerely,

Crazy Plant Lady (also known in the hood as Crazy Bird Lady).

To the science of the matter: I believe this is a Camellia bud. I THINK a Camellia japonica. Will have to discover later as it progresses.

[Alison Roberts]

Great macro shot!

Too funny! I always wonder what people think when they see me on the ground with my booty in the air! Great macro!

[Nancy]

Hahaha! Beautiful shot Daryl!

[Maggiemae]

One normally doesn't see it so close up so its good to view it here!

Beautiful furry texture, love the subtle color -- nice to know other neighborhoods have crazy plant and bird ladies -- not to mention totally insane squirrel ladies!

[Katie]

Incredible detail here! Love all those fuzzies! Totally worth alienating the neighbors! :P

[Danette Thompson]

If you go missing for a few days, we'll know why! Another pretty one.

[Mark Prince]

Wonderful shot Daryl, amazing detail when viewed large.
Re. your note to the neighbours, I have been thinking maybe we need a new tag for this months challenge. Maybe along the lines of : Macro-March-2-Madness . LOL.

[Daryl O'Hare]

@danette ha. Especially now that everyone here is proposing guns every where, I should be double careful

[Daryl O'Hare]

@markp ha!!!

[Ross Walker]

Yeah, I know the feeling since my neighbors see me on the ground in a foot of snow photographing ice patterns. Oh well, the buds are worth it.

[Taffy]

Wonderful POV, great macro, wonderful colors -- and a totally fun image of you swaying as your neighbors watch you in confusion!

[Issi Bannerman]

Great capture ... look forward to seeing the progress of the bud!
