My very favorite lens for macro flower photography is the Lensbaby. I still love the 3G model with the macro attachments and soft focus filter for nature photos. What this lens can do to soften the background is amazing! Thank you Jim and Michelle for letting me “borrow” your coneflowers!

NOW I know who has been nibbling on the plants in my garden! This little fawn and his or her brother….along with mom, of course! All 3 were in my yard having brunch on Sunday! How could I ever get upset with a critter this adorable? I’m off to buy more plants……! 🙂

Why is there a part of me that still believes I can go out in the yard to photograph and not be eaten alive by bugs? You would think I’d have learned by now that it’s not humanly possible!

My parents did not have a clothes dryer. All of the laundry was hung outside on the wash line to dry. During winter and wet weather, we used wash lines in the basement. I will always remember shaking the laundry in the summer before bringing it in the house to make sure there were no critters coming along for the ride. Seeing this makeshift clothes line reminded me of the good old days when every yard had a wash line and the clothes came off the line hardly wrinkled and smelling fresh!

I’ve tried to grow coneflowers on several occasions without success. My next door neighbors, however, have lovely blooms alongside their driveway. Hope they don’t mind that I visited to photograph them!
