Cagey 75's macro: Cagey 75 participates in the macro photography monthly assignment

Beauty must die: This withered Chrysanthemum appealed to me for a nice macro shot. Flowers don't usually do much for me but I thought this one had some charm, it had held it's colour to the death. I got some nice 'bokeh' from the taps in the background as a bonus

Reflection over-dew: This droplet caught my eye, the branches from the upper section of the tree reflecting back onto it as I got closer gave it some interestingness

Bokeh in pink [macro of tricycle handlebar]: My little girl's weather-beaten tricycle sparkled at me from the yard - macro-opportunity. The main droplet reflects the winter sun, also got some nice sparkley bokeh from the dew on the tricycle seat
