Macro 5 - May challenge

Spotted the little funny thing on the bottlebrush tree in the garden and thought it would be nice for a macro. Didn't quite get what I wanted, but quite like this just the same...

May challenge: http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/12339/5-weeks-in-may

Ooh - today must be my 365th challenge pic! I started my first 365 challenge on 1st June last year and have been doing them non-stop ever since (well, except 3 days in January when I couldn't find a challenge!)
