It's Monday morning, and it's a beautiful morning. I am being rewarded for all the heavy work I put into my patio garden yesterday. The sun is shining, there's a gorgeous blue sky, everything is in full bloom. I bought a couple of new hanging baskets, gave the other plants some extra loving care and attention and it all looks gorgeous. The most stunning eye catcher of the week is my Rhododendron in full bloom. The flowers evolve from dark pink to the most delicate creamy pink you've ever seen. Unfortunately, they do not last all that long, I wish I could keep it the way it is now, but alas. But that's when the camera comes in ...
It's wonderful to get up early in the morning, grab the camera and capture that beauty, and share it here with you.
So there, a couple of my finest Rhododendron macro's for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy ...
Look for more Macro Monday pictures at Lisa's Chaos.
If you enjoyed these, you might also enjoy my pictures for the scavenger hunt.
I am currently in a neck by neck race, so I'll probably need a couple more votes, I don't know.
Anyway, my own pictures are here. And if you want to vote for me, click here or on the pink button below.

Wonderful pictures again. I'm so glad I know what Macro's are thanks to you of course. I visited another site Willow's Cottage and left a comment saying you taught me what a macro was. Anyway my Belgian Bombshell...another great photo session.
