Peas in a pod.

I found local peas at the market last week. They were time-consuming to shell, but tasty and the pods were interesting to look at.

Closeup / Decay

I keep going outside to look at the tomatoes, which are producing a ton of flowers:

As if Dragonflies weren't big enough to begin with...

So apparently it's dragonfly mating season... fortunately I didn't get shots of that per se, but I did get some fabulous shots of the suitors and suitees.

From two different ponds in the middle of Chicago... (click to make the bugs bigger)

The last few days have finally been nice and warm so yesterday I picked the year's first strawberries.

eleven.closeup

A closeup of part of a burner on an electric stove. The small metal piece in the middle has an upside down reflection of a teakettle.

This is the stove burner I just had to replace because the old one made a weird bzzzting noise and then caught on fire and started throwing off pieces of white hot metal and then exploded, all without tripping the breaker. Hopefully this one behaves itself.

ten.closeup

An array of brightly coloured pieces of fabric, all folded. Signs of pilling are clearly evident.

'Oh, modal never pills,' the saleswoman assured me when I bought these modal, uhm, garments.

Closing in on the raspberry

I was out with my cat earlier today and when I sat down I came eye to eye with this wild raspberry. I'm glad I'd the camera with me.

Macro

I love little boxes; I can't resist opening them up to see what's inside. In this case, some coins from Canada and the United Arab Emirates found a home in this little decorative box.

Leaves


went photo mad this weekend, managed to get a few macros done :)

While sitting waiting for my hubby to pick me up Saturday, I started
snapping macros. No clue as to what this plant is, I LOVE the texture
of the leaves
