Inner Beauty............Go ahead and view large

These are so tiny and delicate. I really had to work hard to find their tiny and even more delicate guts. I'm not sleeping. I wish I knew why, age I'm sure, but when I got up this morning it was on about 3 or 4 hours of sleep. And this is day 3 of this. It is really getting on my nerves so I decided I needed an attitude adjustment. What better way than the camera and the dogs. So out we went and did some much needed weeding and dead heading - I wish the dogs earned their keep with weeding but I did all the work. Then the fun part with the camera. I love a day when I have more shots than room to share. I think I like this one the best.
This is so pretty. Hope that you sleep better tonight after all of your yard work. Sleepytime Tea is helpful for me when I have problems with slumber.

It is a lovely shot, Cathy. I Really love your focus.

understand all about the not sleeping thing--very frustrating. Many a night I'm looking at the clock at 2 am and still get up at 6. Makes it tough to put on my runners and go for a run.

Fave for me . . . good luck with poor sleep!

Beautiful! Hope you can get some sleep tonight.

Gorgeous delicacy ... beautiful clarity and soft colors! A great pov and lighting too! Is that insomnia catching? I 've had the same problem, Cathy. Can't sleep more than 3-4 hours most nights. Same last night. So I too worked all day and now feel exhausted and "over-tired!" Will try again tonight ... I think that it might be the heat here! Still no relief.

@jackie8 That is my experience. I read a lot at night......
