Easter Egg Hunt

We had all of the family over for a late morning Easter egg hunt and pizza. I think everyone had fun. Thank goodness the weather held out; it was quite cool, but no rain/snow.  I had leftover candy and a gift for each family, so after the kids were through with their hunt, we all came in the house. Then I took all of the grandkids outside and we hid candy and gifts for the adults. They had fun with that. Later, Jonah told me that this was the BEST Easter egg hunt he'd ever had:)

Zupas

Cafe Zupas opened in Layton a few months ago. I've been there three times recently. It has wonderful soups, salads and sandwiches. I especially like all the flavored syrups you can add to a soda - YUM!!

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.

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.

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.
