Not my breakfast but when going to pick some Pak Choi for supper I discovered the cabbage worms (the larvae of the cabbage white butterfly) had got there first. Pieris rapae were accidently introduced to Quebec from Europe in 1860 and seem to like it here (and especially my vegetable garden!). Voracious eaters and, as you can see from the second close-up, voracious excreters   Tony |

An Organ Pipe Cactus is a tall (20 feet or so) columnar type that blooms at night; here are 2 blooms - each about 1 - 2 inches across Pete, you definitely gave us a close-up view of these beauties. Nicely done! My favorite one is the second image. |

The caterpillar that was eating my carrots this morning. If allowed to survive it would turn into a very pretty swallowtail butterfly. Taken with my phone to take advantage of the large depth of field when close up. And that is its front end - mouth down busy munching away. Tony Tony, I'm in awe! This is an amazing shot. This caterpillar looks like something out of a Sci-fi movie. |

Frank, great job! Turning such a mundane subject into an image worth hanging on the wall. I love the DOF! |

The pie bushes are starting to show promise. Thanks for the theme Sepiana! Bill, you captured their "showing" just in time (with sharpness and clarity). Quite a shot! |

Boiling up some eggs this morning..... Another flower close-up......taken with my phone. Helen, two different subjects, yet perfect for this theme. The flower shot is a classic! |

Thanks Sepiana. Great minds Peter! Honest, I had not seen your post when I ventured into our back yard one hour ago!  Clive, flowers are always good "models" for close-up viewing. Very colorful images! Nicely done. |

Leafhopper on a rose bush. It is about 1/4 inch long. kdcintx, what a close-up view! We can see all the details on his wings. Impressive! |

I was surprised at how close the squirrels allowed me to come this morning in the park. During lockdown they have obviously got very used to people and to being fed. Dennis Dennis, this takes top honors. It's not easy to get close to these little critters. You nailed your shots! I love the first one; he seems to be posing for your camera. |

Judy, thinking out of the box -- going for an unusual viewpoint as well. Interesting composition and great DOF! |

Since most of the rest seem to be doing flowers, I went for prepping my breakfast this morning. Bacon and scrambled eggs with onion, jalapeno and cheese. Not the most inspired image, but it was handy. Didn't even have to get out my macro lens. Rick, and I'm glad you did. You nailed this shot! I love how you composed it to abide by The Rule of Odds. |

Too late again. One of my girl's fur coat. In normal view, she is mostly black.  |
