It's in reply to flowersandhome's comment (7th one from the top) if you'd like the information. The lens is fairly inexpensive and easy to use :)Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01341233630137969987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293326732470699661.post-39085759025305424762013-05-27T16:34:08.223-07:002013-05-27T16:34:08.223-07:00Thank you so much Rosemary.

I created my watermark on Adobe Photoshop. It was quite easy. I chose a font I liked, typed what I wanted and saved it as a separate file (psd) and can drag it onto any photo I want in Photoshop. You can try Googling it, often someone will take you through the steps on YouTube :)Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01341233630137969987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293326732470699661.post-30640525028824430782013-05-25T17:33:13.578-07:002013-05-25T17:33:13.578-07:00Thank you so much Marian, I am always so inspired ...Thank you so much Marian, I am always so inspired by your gorgeous photos! You get amazing close-ups with your camera. I will share the same information that Karen from Pieces of Contentment shared with me when I asked how she took her fabulous macros. (Don't you just love generous, supportive bloggers who help you out and share their gold nuggets of information :) You can't help falling in love with Karen, her family and her photos! I'm including the link to the specific blog post in which Karen describes and shows the clip-on macro lens that she (and now, I) use. I strongly recommend it. I have had hours and hours of magical fun with it. Let me know if you need to know anything else :)<br /><br />http://piecesofcontentment.blogspot.ca/2012/05/dancing-and-singing.htmlRosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01341233630137969987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293326732470699661.post-32721385654757253202013-05-25T04:37:18.648-07:002013-05-25T04:37:18.648-07:00Great macro!Great macro!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12812361075406633668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293326732470699661.post-81437363829295637752013-05-25T02:57:33.490-07:002013-05-25T02:57:33.490-07:00Rosemary, you've well shown all stages of alli...Rosemary, you've well shown all stages of allium opening.
