Not exactly macros

I'm still saving up for a macro lens for my camera, but as food and energy costs continue to rise, my monthly income isn't stretching far enough for luxuries.

These photos are as close as I can get, but mostly they fit the category of 'close ups', not macros. I'm not a photographer, but I do enjoy taking pictures and occasionally I get one that I like.

It was a beautiful sunny morning. Perfect for being outdoors with my camera. The neighbors chickens hear my screen door shut, and it isn't long before I hear them coming through the woods. I know it's the wrong community but I wanted to include this Feathered Friend photo for @blanchy

This big boy is so curious and must be part of whatever I am doing. He has grown so much. It's hard to believe that just a few months ago he was a fuzzy little chick under a heat lamp.

This Virginia Creeper vine has turned a lovely burgundy color. It is one of the first signs in my yard that autumn is very soon to arrive.

It is growing on an Ash tree that is one of the few remaining in the area. Emerald ash borders have infested and killed most of the ash trees in Wisconsin. I wonder if this one will get leaves next spring. I will miss it. I've planted a birch tree to replace it, but it will take a long time to grow and provide shade.

I will need to bring this yellow hibiscus indoors for the winter. It won't survive the cold and will sit in the south window and give me blossoms for an occasional cup of tea on cold mornings.

There you go, Mick! One of these days I'll be able to post my attempt at some macro shots!
