These are from my Rhode Island Teacher's certificate which was earned by being an undergraduate for 4 years at Rhode Island College studying Education, followed by another 4 or 5 years of post graduate work for a master's degree in my field of education. At that time (post grad) I was teaching and raising two small children. This certificate represents blood, sweat and lots of tears and tiredness. But look! It says '"valid for LIFE", hooray! And it was so worth it all...I loved, and still love...teaching!

And, it gave me certification to wield that red pen!!!!

Just peeking out, I'm practicing with the macro lens.

found this one in the forest, he was resisting taking photos :) but I managed to get 2-3 good ones

Macro of a bug i have no idea what kind it is

Please see the other shots in the first comment!!

I got some shots with the fly hovering and even tried some stacking of these, but I'm still learning...

These are some shots of yet another macro setup I tried, my stripped down 50/1.8 directly reversely mounted. This setup results in smaller magnification but with a larger distance to the subject (approx. 12cm from the lens).

Slightly enhanced in PS, no crop.

Fun with my friend's Canon 5D III and macro lens—a new experience for me!

We killing the nature...
