Grape Ivy Bud

I decided to set up my tripod this morning and see what I could do. This plants is close to 15 years old. I am amazed that I haven't done too much damage to it over the years. 

The buds seem so soft and fragile, so I wanted to see what the macro lens would bring out. 

My scrapbooking supplies are once again coming in handy.  I am grateful that I have held onto the paper over the years.
