day 23: the macro

I'm not sure what compelled me to take pictures of the keyboard this morning.  Go figure.  Yesterday, a friend that we spent the day with lent me his macro lens that he rarely ever uses. So I've got this macro lens to play around with and what do I take pictures of?  My keyboard.

Mind you, my week has been so busy that I can scarce find the time to blog.  Most of these are done late at night, just as I am about to go to bed (that's when I remember).

This morning I played around with the macro lens a little bit before I went to work.  I only spent about 5 minutes in the yard, so I was excited to see a bee buzzing around my poppies.  Yes, it's cliche.  But I've never gotten a picture of a bug like this before, so...there you have it.  It will probably be one of the only bug pictures I post (unless I take one that is unique looking)

(below: Nicotiana flower from my hanging basket.  I love how close I can get.  Considering this flower is barely an inch in size I find this pretty neat (again, cliche--I know. But neat to me nonetheless, since I am only just learning macro).

I promise that come September I will have more blogs that have substance.  I am just so insanely busy right now.  *sigh* Can't wait for Autumn.
