First, I want to say that any and all progress I have made in the past year is strictly and completely due to my son Neil who also has a Flickr account and is a professional photographer as a hobby. He's awesome.
He has encouraged me, critiqued me, bought me a close-up lens, showed me how to use it and persuaded me to start to learn AND use manual settings for a more satisfying photo. I can't thank him enough and I am always willing to learn from him.
I have a Nikon DSLR with an 18-200 lens, a 50mm lens as well as a close up lens for my flower and insects.
When I gain more experience in learning manual settings (just got started) I will upgrade to a Nikon D-300. Right now, I have all I can handle with what I have. :-)

They're always there when you're in need With their power to discern. They feel your pain..... They offer hope and genuine concern. We bare our souls, expose our hearts And show our inner fears And then before you know it The keyboard's stained with tears. And if we could see them through that screen Then no one could deny That to be a TRUE online friend They too must cry. ~Unknown~""
