May's Photo Challenge - Close Up

First topic message reminder :

May's Photo Challenge

This is our third month of challenges. This month is simply entitled 'Close Up'. You can interpret this in any way you want, this can include macro, but anything close is good. Pictures don't need to be underwater, this is open to our none diving friends too.

The rules are the same, one entry per day, no wider than 640pix and remember we are a family site!

that will be me again....

Once again I take you to good old North Sea, Scotland to St Abbs.

It was a nice evening, close up from the patio...

Hey Doc, thats my kind of close up lol!!!!!!!!!!!

Arghhh, an Archimedes on the patio

Here's my effort taken on Sunday

Thank you - heres another view you may like, from Malta...

Back to todays picture, this one you don't want to get too close to

Wrong... Plain Wrong...

Just firming up my theory that circuses with animals should have been banned years ago.

NO this is wrong. There has to be somewhere to take the kids to feed the animals

One from Trearddur Bay last summer

This one is for diver. Taken just before the wind

Another from from St Abbs. Again taken with Fuji f30. Here you can see even the grains of sand on this close up of a Anemone.

Taken in the garden not more than 10 mins ago!!

This picture of a flat fish and a hermit crab again were taken off the North East Coast. Not my best image for being focused, but for macro to pick a defining focus spot at only a couple of inch away, I don't thinks it to bad.

A Cryfish at Stoney Cove
