I saw these fat buds on this tree and liked the snow and shadows in the background.

Valentine's Day

f 3.2,1/40,ISO-80,focal 13mm,auto, flash

My son brought me these beautiful red tulips for Valentines day.  I enjoy taking macro shots and am working on trying to improve on them.  I think some type of spot light to get rid of some of the shadows would help this shot.  I have another shot with less shadow but I think that this shot is overall clearer.   I like the bright yellow on the inside of tulip.

This picture was part of an assignment for the Clicker's Camera Club. I wanted to take a different aspect of a knitting machine.

    I love this blue yarn next to the metal.  Wish I had diffused the flash.

Dawn on Winnisquam Lake

f/4.5,1/640 sec,ISO-80,Bias -0.3 step,16mm

no flash, compulsory

   Every morning as I drive to work, I see beautiful views along Lake Winnisquam.  I finally stopped to take a picture.  I hope to do this more often.. although that means getting up earlier.  I feel so fortunate living in the lakes region.. so much beautiful scenery.
