 Suffering from Update Button Withdrawal so went looking around the house for nine of ... something. Came up with these buds from the leftover wedding table centerpieces. I think they're a type of heather.

Had the 20mm extension tube on.

Very pretty. I love the soft colors. The points of blur add extra interest too.

A little too grainy, and plastic!!! I get there are 9 berries, but they don't really call out to me as the subject...maybe if they were more vibrant.
