Lisa’s 365 Project 63/365 – Macro Photography

I’ve been saying how I wished I had a macro lens….now I finally have one.  Its going to take a lot of getting use to and I’m going to need to pull out my tripod because my hands are not steady.  I saw on a youtube video today that its best to start out with smaller apertures so that is what I did with most of these except the white petunia.   I selected f/2.8 for it because I wanted the petals to be a little softer.

So here are some of my first pictures with my new lens. The first one is my favorite because it is of the mud pie my girls made today.

Lisa’s 365 Project 58/365 – Church School Days

Today was church school days at Sharon SDA church.  My middle daughter and her classmates recited the Beatitudes.  Her line was “Those who give mercy to others are happy. Mercy will be given to them.  Matthew 5:7“  I’m very proud of her for getting in front of the entire church and reciting her part.  She is very shy and does not like to speak in front of crowds.
