Kathy Nemec-Lucas‘ snowflake at the top of this entry is a beautiful example of macro photography (here’s a larger version). If your camera has a pictograph of a flower on it (most point-and-shoot cameras do) or your DSLR has a lens with the word macro on it this is a type of photo you can take!
Let’s define terms first. Macro photograph is really nothing more than close-up photography. Typically in macro photography the image seen by your sensor is at least 50% of its real size–abbreviated 1:2. Some macro lenses can bring you 1:1 or more! Unfortunately, companies in pursuit of quick sales have taken it upon themselves to ‘dumb down’ the entire macro concept. Be careful.
