After my literary close-up of Rome I started looking at a few photos that might match the theme. First up, a water drop-covered mushroom in the North Cascades.
A close-up of peeling birch at the Bloedel Reserve.
Getting close to a mound of white M&Ms at the New York M&M World’s Wall of Chocolate. 
Last, but certainly not least, a close-up of the original Piglet of Winnie the Pooh fame. I had to get close, he’s only 3 inches tall.
Are you ready for your close-up? If you would like to join in (everyone’s welcome!) here’s what to do:
- Create your own post and title it Travel theme: Close-up
- Include a link to this page in your post so others can find it too
- Get your post in by next Thursday, as the new travel theme comes out on Friday
