April Fool's Weather

The first day of April decided to bring its own April Fool's joke - lots of snow.

More Macros

I spent some time tonight experimenting with my new macro lens.

The last Christmas Cactus bloom. This plant has

been blooming since November.

A colorful paperweight.

Old croquet balls.

New Nikon Macro Lens

My new Nikkor Macro 60mm lens came in the mail today. So exciting. I was surprised that it was heavier than my other lenses. This brings a new learning curve for my photography skills.

This lens has a very shallow depth of field, which blurs out the background and areas not in focus very nicely.

Skeleton Key Eye Candy

Repurposed junk jewelry with a little bling added are good sellers at the store.

Mother-In-Law

Mike's parents came over for a rare visit. I thought the light was nice on Betty's face, so I grabbed my camera.

Flickr Widget

I experimented tonight installing a widget on my blog. Clicking on a photo will take one to my flickr site. I'll eventually place it on the side bar.

March Snow...Hail..Wind...Rain

Snow, hail, wind and rain...all in one day, before noon..and it's almost April! As I was leaving for lunch today to run a few errands, I stepped outside and turned right around, deciding an hour at my desk was much cozier.

It's hard to see, but it was coming down pretty hard.

Hail-O
