Sunday Morning Macros

Are you tiring of my macros? If so, I don't blame you, but after my Saturday evening effort, I made a few more photos on Sunday morning.

It was hot again! and we would eschew our walkie again! so I stepped out for a few minutes and grabbed some quick photos, such as this daylily. They just began to bloom yesterday.

And ... another echinacea photo.

This is my first rudbeckia, yellow/orange coneflower, photo from my own garden in a long time and maybe forever. We did have some failures quite awhile ago, and I didn't replace those plants, but we are trying again this year and in a different spot. I hope they endure this time because I appreciate them greatly.

Sue has flower pots located here and there. I showed you a photo of the one situated by the sidewalk not too long ago, but this is just a section of that same pot. It's a really nice, colourful display, although my shot isn't perfectly focussed.

Here's a bit of another pot. It has struggled a bit, so Sue has recently moved it to a sunnier spot. We hope for the best.

I retreated indoors and awaited the men's Wimbledon finals. It was a pretty good contest but not elite. The two players, Sinner and Alcaraz, apparently put on a show for the ages just a few ago on the red clay of Paris, but Alcaraz wasn't quite in top form on the green grass of Wimbledon. It was still completive, however, unlike the ladies final the previous day.

Meanwhile, this Monday is going to be another very hot day, but it’s not too torrid now, at 7 o’clock, so I think we’ll head out for a short walk very soon, for we’ve been missing it for a few days. You have a good one.

  1. Early morning is the only time to walk when it's so blisteringly hot.
    I like macro photographs - they show extraordinary detail.

  2. The same weather will be repeating here this week starting Tuesday 🥵 Out
    R early morning trek will be to the supermarket. The close ups are always welcomed and appreciated.

  3. We've been lucky at the lake -- just a little cooler. Warm enough to enjoy the outdoors; not so hot we really can't. We're seeing lots of smoke from the fires. Well, more like haze with bad air quality.

  4. Good to see your flowering day lilies. Ours have all succumbed already. May try to find a few shots I took, things have gotten all disarrayed lately. I now have a new monitor which makes seeing things ever so much easier. So perhaps getting new glasses will just be the icing on the cake.

  5. Today and tomorrow will be tropical here. The flowers are pretty. I'm a no-go in the early morning, so no chance for a walk if I wanted to.
