Macro Monday and Happy Monday

I almost forgot about Macro Monday!  Anyway, I'm putting these two in one post to save space.

For Happy Monday:

I would have linked this one from my Flickr photostream as well, but the one on there had dust spots or something - I tried to remove them with an editing program, so this is the new version.
