New Lens Party: Playing With Macro!

Two amazing friends said thank you with one of the most lovely gifts I could have ever received, a macro lens! (Or as Nikon calls it, a Micro lens.) I can't wait to learn the nuances of this hyper-perceptive new tool and the fun types of photography it will reveal! The next few posts will likely be me getting way too close to entirely mundane objects and acting like their surfaces are profound. ^_^

The first mission? None other than the kitten nose!

Such an angsty, dramatic nose. It'll be OK, kitten. The birdies shall return.

Onward to...

Mystery Plant That Is Growing in a Vacant Pot Outside My Door

Baby Purple Cabbage in the Micro Garden Out Back

All Up In the Tiny Cabbage's Biz (Kinda Looks Like Audrey II from Little Shop of Horrors)

Grow up to be delicious, little guy!

Adorable Grandma

Why, yes, this is my super cute grandma. All the hearts go to grandma!

Nostalgia for the Homeland

Cacti, dry grass, shrubs, corn, and tiny wildflowers. Perhaps not everyone's idea of beauty, but they are all noble little parts of Texas that I hold dear in my heart.

Baby: Maternal Adoration

A visit to this family today displayed how much the wee man loves his mommy. ^_^

The Wee Lad Hath Eyes!

Pirate Baby: Round 2!

More Baby Pics? All the Baby Pics!

Sorry, I have trouble not taking pictures of adorable people. Until I'm away from this cutie, you'll just have to suffer through. In my defense, it's difficult to resist a baby in a pirate themed onesie. ^_^

Stalking the Parental Felines

A leisurely morning with the parents, photo-stalking the kitties. Most pictures are of Guinness, the grandson of my own fur child, Hadassah. The saucy girl posing dramatically for what appears to be an ExpoDisc ad is Tasha. She firmly believe that everyone should enjoy the color enhancing joys of the ExpoDisc.
