Macro Goodness


taking a moment to find joy in the little things

{pretty}
I love macro photography.... especially with my phone and macro lens attachment. However, I have a macro lens for my dslr and I'm determined to use it more this year. I took it on a walk with me around my yard and neighborhood looking for things to capture....













{happy}
While on the same walk my daughter and I spotted this Red-breasted Sapsucker. He stuck around long enough for me to switch my lenses and get a few shots. 



Also making me really happy....the first camellias in the neighborhood are blooming!!  






{funny}
Clearly my kids have too much free time (and perhaps need more homework). They created a balloon person and they made a parachute so it could fly from the second level to the first of our home. 




{real}
The kitchen counter demolition has begun...
things are going to get really messy and then really pretty next week!

  6. Love your macros! I just sold my 60mm macro lens since I rarely used it, but I do love seeing the work of others in the macro world.
