Another attempt at macro using my little Raynox 250. I still have to figure out the best way to take a sharp image, LOL, such as trying again to find somewhere that sells the size of GorillaPod (tripod) that my camera needs. I have a few small, dead Sunflowers in my kitchen and I happened to notice a teeny sparkle from some specks of moisture - barely visible to my eye - in the centre of one. I'm still in awe at the incredible beauty of something so tiny, that one would not normally even notice.

A good thing I photographed these yesterday during the day, as by late night they were already beginning to droop. I had expected them to last at least a few days. They really are beautiful, small Roses (from Safeway, of course) and they smell so good. I set my alarm for 6:30 this morning, planning on going on a walk with a few friends. However, the sky is so overcast and it's snowing and the windchill is around 26C/28C, so I decided instead to post my photos to Flickr early and then hopefully get one or two things done today. I just have to clear some space ready for when belongings of my brother and parents are shipped over to Canada. The last few weeks, I've been telling my friends which things I would like to keep and I really have no idea how many things there now are. All I know is that I need to do some drastic tidying so that I have room for this box/boxes!

I always love pumpkin season, both at Thanksgiving and at Halloween. Because my kids are all grown, I don't celebrate this event and don't buy a huge pumpkin, but couldn't resist buying one of those miniature ones from Safeway. Happy Halloween, everyone! Stay SAFE, especially all those young Trick-or-Treaters!
