Birthday Gifts


My garden has given me
The prettiest birthday candle ever -
A geranium bud



A few months ago, my husband ordered my birthday gift online.
It was a Canon Macro Lens EF 100mm 1:2.8
It was supposed to remain in its package until today...



Yeah, right.
I've been using it, well, learning how to use it ever since I received it :)

It has opened my eyes to a whole new world of beauty
So, this year I'm celebrating:
A love of learning
Seeing things anew
And being eternally fascinated with nature

My heart lives in the garden :)

  2. Happy, happy birthday Rosemary - may you continue to have lots more fun with your macro lens, and we can all share your results too. I don't think that I have ever seen a geranium bud looking more perfect.

  9. LOL!!! Sounds like someone else I know:) A macro lens should never be left in a box when you can use it right away:) It's incredible the detail and color you can get from these types of lens. Happy birthday!!! Hope you had a nice day.
