Before we get any further into July, and before I share details and photos of our Maine vacation, I want to take a look back at June. I’ve got the usual photo mosaic and video for you to peruse.
Is it any wonder that June is my favorite? Vacation and flowers growing, boats and the ocean, plenty of lobster, some gorgeous scenery, tons of family and friends and plenty of Jackie, it’s just the best month!
Let’s take a look back at the merry month of May. First, the photo-a-day mosaic.
The month started with flowers and they just got more profuse as the days went on. Plus plenty of all of my favorite things and people.
And the video:
I do love the way those 1.5 seconds every day really capture the month.
And now we’re on to June, my favorite month of the year!
Welcome to Macro Monday, a weekly post where I will share a photo I took with a macro lens.
Today’s post was not without it’s challenges. First, I tried to attach my macro lens to the big camera. And then realized that my macro lens doesn’t fit the Canon EOS 6D but rather fits my older camera, the Canon EOS 7D. Despite the higher number, the 6D is actually the better camera (it’s a full frame) but the 7D is just fine. Of course the battery was completely drained so I had to charge it, not a big deal, and then yesterday I took some photos. The next challenge came when I tried to upload the photos to my computer to process. The 7D uses a different memory card than the 6D and I don’t have a card reader for that type anymore, having recently replaced the previous one I had that fit multiple sized cards. I had to think way way back to remember how I used to do this and ended up directly connecting the camera to my laptop to transfer the photos.
This will get easier, right?
In the end, I wound up with 8 photos of the center of this gazania. Most weren’t as sharp as I’d like and this one only barely passes muster for me but it’s what I have and it gives me a good place to start from, knowing that practice will improve my rusty macro skills.
Happy Monday, go have a great day!
I’m hitting Wednesday with two-fer on the alliteration. It’s Watercolor AND Windowbox Wednesday!
I went for a classic look with the window boxes this year: red geraniums and vinca vine. Against our white house and our white sheer curtains it’s a perfect look for the summer.
Have a great Wednesday!
It’s a week of meetings, my friends. One on Monday, three on Tuesday, two on Wednesday. You know what that means? Y’all get a watercolor photo today.
I’m trying for the serenity of garden buddha as I move through this week!
