Hubby asked me some time in December what I wanted for Christmas from him. I said that I would like a new lens for my camera. When I told him the cost of this macro lens & then I said that it was purely a want, not a need but that I would really like it. Well, he was a little floored with the cost of the lens & a few days later told me to order it & it would double as an anniversary & Christmas gift.
So I have been practicing with this new macro lens & I must admit that it is a bit of a challenge. Bought my self some tulips to have some flowers to shoot.
Tuesday morning the trees were covered with hoarfrost so it was a photographer's dream to capture a winter wonderland.
It was quite bright outside so I did have some difficulty with finding a contrast in the background to showcase the snow.
This is my Linden tree in my backyard & it's buds are starting to form.
Spring is a long ways off so they better go back to sleep for a few more weeks.
I like the frost collection here. It was a most beautiful morning & by mid afternoon, the hoarfrost was mostly gone. Hopefully, this winter will bring a few more photographic opportunities.
