Welcome to the Sunday Stills feature hosted by Terry Webster Schrandt.

The theme this week is close ups or macro shots.
Firstly some flower images…

This wolf was a bit camera shy…

Don’t mess with me…
One of the other wolves was eyeing up this one’s dinner.

One of the bees collecting pollen from a hebe flower

A young peregrine falcon and Harris’s hawk
A young sika deer ( I think)

A ‘smiley’ and very friendly Herdwick, a breed of sheep beloved of Beatrix Potter who bred and showed them. Native to the Lake District, although I did meet this one in North Yorkshire.

Thanks so much for reading...

They’re gorgeous sheep, I love them. The white and red flowers are chrysanths and the yellow one’s a sunflower. xx

Yay, what lovely animal faces you’ve captured today! Your floral close-up gallery is stunning, Cathy! I’m hoping to visit the dahlia fields near Portland Oregon this week! Perhaps I can get as good as you are at photographing them. Amazing bee shot–I would have had to run away to get that close, LOL. Thanks for sharing and have a lovely couple of weeks!

I had a long lense on the bee shot, I don’t think I could have been that close either. I use my phone for the flowers, I can get really close up. Good luck with the dalias and have a wonderful trip.

Love these….I shared a few dahlia photos on mine this week. The wolf surprised me. I thought it was something else in the first photo.
