tick tick tick tick tick

OK, so I had to stop hammering in the basement, putting up a framing wall, because my toddler daughter was sleeping upstairs. Jeeeez. Oh well. Whatcha gonna do? She is sooo sweet when she sleeps. So I swung out the macro lens and stepped out to pluck a couple of dried things from the garden, returning with a dried poppy, a spruce cone, dandelion fluff and a knobby thingy from some sort of balsam I think.

The poppy seemed most interesting and I worked away at it for awhile without really getting was I was after. Trouble is, if you don't really know what you're after from the get-go, the image will prolly reflect that. And so it does. But I thought I'd post it anyway. The other shots of the other items were simply delete-worthy, and so that's what became of them.

...apparently, Finney has just woken and so I am free to bang away in the basement once more, and so off I go.
