Macro lens

We are surrounded by pretty flowers right now, and in the face of so many crocuses I finally gave in and decided to try some of Kevin’s fancier camera lenses. It wasn’t a complete success, but not terrible either. Here are the crocuses in the rock wall:

The crocus and tulip blend outside our bedroom window – all golden in the sunshine.

And our new mini-iris on the kitchen counter.

Kevin chipped in another crocus photo – the crocuses next to the patio (tucked in under the family room window).

So pretty. It’s amazing how my vision zooms to the flowers at this time of year. Such attention-grabbing little growing things.

Progress!

The sky (as seen from the driveway) after driving home from work and daycare.

Notably NOT black! And we’re still just barely beginning March! The mornings have shifted earlier, too (we’ve been seeing an unfortunate number of 6:35 AM starts to the day recently, and that will just get worse). Time to roll out the blackout curtains, I’m thinking.
