And the runner-up is...

For a couple days, this was going to be Kathleen and Frank's wedding invitation. A few days later, Kathleen found something else she liked better and so she and I worked on a new design. We're still working on it, but we'll share it when it's done!

I have no clever one-liner for this

More macro fun!

Play-Doh!

Is it just me or do these flowers look like they are made from Play-Doh? This was taken at Morikami Japanese Gardens in Delray Beach, Fla., using a f/2.8 100mm macro.

Native beauty

My dad has some beautiful orchids (that are native to Florida) in his backyard. I used the macro lens to get a close-up shot of the pretty orchid.

Birdie Blues

My friend was kind enough to lend me his macro lens (f/2.8 100mm) during my vacation to Ft. Lauderdale. My dad has all kinds of cool plants in his backyard, and we went to Morikami Japanese Gardens--both excellent places to test drive the lens. If you are ever in Delray Beach, it is worth visiting! I'll post my favorites this week. But for now, check out my dad's bird, Blues. As you can see, he is getting in new quills, which causes him to be a bit cranky, but he graciously allowed me to photograph him.
