The Night Sky

 

Falling snow and tree branches in the night sky, snapped with flash.

Bits and pieces flung into the universe,

sticking in the sky like cotton balls on a jet black velcro surface.

O Christmas Tree - Weekend Reflections

Christmas Colours

A post for Macro Monday/The Creative Exchange/ i heart macro/Ruby Tuesday

Colours are the smiles of nature

~Leigh Hunt

The flowers of this poinsettia (green buds) are less than 1\8th of an inch in size, so my Raynox DCR-250 conversion macro lens did wonders on this shot!

The brightly coloured parts of a poinsettia are not the plant's flowers. They are actually bracts, or modified leaves surrounding the real flowers, which are the (3-5 mm) greenish-yellow buds in the centre of a bunch.
