I loved how the texture played out when this printed. Yay film!

Dainty

It’s been awhile. A long while. But I had a valid excuse! (Kinda.) I underwent two emergency eye surgeries this summer, one after the other, right before starting a new job and taking a brief trip to the UK. So yeah, I’ve been a wee bit busy :) But now I’m back.
Forgiven?

Soft swirl

I’m afraid I shall be incommunicado for the next two weeks, as I’m off on a last-minute trip abroad. In the meantime, try not to get too dizzy staring into the soft swirl of this cool cactus.

Took a wee trip to Owego to visit the greenhouses at Tioga Gardens and I was in macro heaven! Yay!

I’ve been beta testing a new Lensbaby set-up which has super close macro capabilities! Woo!

It’s finally starting to melt, which is almost a shame when it has the ability to transform even weeds and other mundane objects into abstract wonders.

Carrot top

So apparently a few of my Lensbaby macro shots are going to be used on the back of a Lensbaby user manual! Woo hoo!

The news inspired me to take out the macro kit and play in the kitchen again, this time with some carrot leaves.
