Many of you know that I love macro photography. You know I think that on some of the sites I’m posting my photos, every Monday I post a macro photo. I do not know exactly how the list works but I invite you to post a macro photo in this list. Let’s see what is going to happen! ?

#1 yellow lichens

Sunburst Lichen on tree trunks. These lichens like to grow on trees in open areas.

I think the best thing about these close-ups is that you can see the stamens and stigmas so clearly….

#9 Golden shower tree flower (cassia fistula)

Close-up of one of the flowers in the bunch - in full bloom, the tree looks laden with golden bunches of grapes! Each flower is only about an inch or less...

Macro Monday – ???

Yes, again, another flower which I don’t know its name… but it looks like Hibiscus to me! But I could be wrong! Flowers look alike to me… and maybe because I’m not observant enough!

Anyway, this one is taken again in Gardens by the Bay! I think its a good place to visit for flowers, plants lovers! The ticket aren’t that expensive and if you go early enough, you could spend a whole day there!

What do you think?

    If that’s your decision, we don’t need to do rock-scissors-paper anymore.
