I Heart Macro 10-9-11






Hi everyone! It's time for this weeks installment of "I Heart Macro". First off I have to tell you that my hubby surprised me this week by buying me a new camera! He got me a Canon 60D and some other accessories. I went out to practice a couple hours with Kim (Jumbled Hutch) who also participates in I Heart Macro, along with my daughter Courtney and Grandbaby Kileigh. I found myself completely overwhelmed and wondering if I was in over my head. The next day, I decided to go back out by myself and just play around. The pictures I am posting today are from my play session all by myself! I know I have lots to learn and need more practice, but to be honest I am surprised that I even got any I felt comfortable posting. I think I am going to love this camera!
