Did you do it? Did you get up close and see the finer details of things?
I hope so.
I only have one photo to share. I completely blame my pregnancy for zapping all of my creative juices from me. Which is okay, I just don’t seem to mind.
But I did get one.
This is a zinnia. I pulled up my zinnias from the summer to make room for mums. This was a bud waiting to bloom. Isn’t it beautiful?
Did you have fun with this one? I hope so. If you have a camera with high enough mega-pixels, maybe you didn’t have to take the photo so closely and you could just crop the excess of the photo off to get closer. It’s a great trick, a great way to get in close!
DO SHARE!
but first…
1. You can join in on this challenge at any time! We welcome & love new participants.
2. ONLY SIGN MR. LINKY IF YOU ARE PARTICIPATING IN THE ACTUAL CHALLENGE.
3. Please make sure you are linking directly to your specific You Capture post in Mr. Linky (and not just your site, for instructions, go here) and please make sure you are linking back to this challenge in your post. If you don’t abide by this, your link will be removed. (I know, I’m so mean.)
4. Try your hardest not to reuse a picture from your archives, the goal of You Capture is to get you moving with your camera, get creative! Challenge yourself!

6. And finally, post as many pictures as you want on your post.
I will be deleting links for those that aren’t complying, which is annoying because deleting links is annoying.
Happiness. (which could be a duplicate challenge, but I don’t think it is, but really…it’s happiness. Who really cares, right?)
Happy Capturing!
This is beautiful! Hey I gotta say, I loved this challenge! It was definitely a fun one! And I used ‘creative juices’ too! I hope you have a good day Beth, take care and thanks for the fun!

Love the flower, so so LOVE it! Thank you for helping me to expand the box in my photography skills. It has helped so much! you Rock!
Very cool angle! And you can never have too much happy!
So nice. I love the bright green against the light brown of the wood.
Gorgeous! How is it that everything you post is frame worthy? I’m green with envy over here.
I’m excited – this is my first you capture post! Can’t wait to make this a weekly event.
I love it! I’m also glad that cropping was acceptable because that’s what I did.
This is stunning! Well done!
Soo intricate! Great shot!
Gorgeous. I love the the symmetry of it.
Just beautiful.
Beth, this is awesome. I had no idea that zinnia buds were so cool.
I love that shot! Just beautiful
This week’s theme is awesome!
That’s a great shot! I didn’t know zinnias started out like that! Thanks for the challenge!
Your photo is beautiful. I think this has been my favourite challenge so far. I love seeing things from a different angle.
I just love how your brain works…how you know just how to lay out the photo, from what angle and on what surface…
It’s a brilliant gift.
I’m late to join in today, but I can’t help it, I’m late for pretty much everything all the time. I mean, c’mon. This is only my 3rd time ever joining in on You Capture and I LOVE taking pics. And I LOVE you. I need to get my act together. Or something.
Hope you’re feeling good today!
I love this picture! I love everything about it!!
This was a fun challenge!
Just beautiful!
What a cool picture…I love flowers as they are changing. Just another one of God’s magnificant wonders!
That is one really beautiful bud. Without your close up subject, we wouldn’t have realized that the bud can be as beautiful and interesting as the flower. Nice shot!
That’s a gorgeous picture of the zinnia bud!
I screwed up!! Please delete my entry (#64) and I’ll try again! Sorry!
The pattern on that little bud is so perfect. It looks like a little piece of jewelry to me.
Aww, a bud that couldn’t be… So Beautiful! =)
I love the budding zinnia…and I loved this challenge (but I’m oh-so-excited about next week’s challenge!)
my first week participating! i love using my macro setting, and I have much cooler macro photos than the ones I took this afternoon, but I didn’t want to dig through archived photos for my first week.
Love the zinnia picture. Zinnia and Ivy (your daughter, right?) were the two names we had picked out for our third son were he to have been a girl.
This is such a cool thing you do here. I love it.
Thanks for the challenge! Love the concept and can’t wait to do more!
That’s a lovely shot! So pretty.
And, I have to say, I loved this challenge. I LOVE shots that are taken up close. I had lots of fun.
Thanks!!
Now…off to capture “Happiness” for next week!!
