Taken with my rental Laowa 60mm f/2.8 2x macro lens that I just purchased. Inexpensive and fun.
Rare sunlight. I'm ready for rain now.
Rented from www.Lensrentals.com. Used that company for years now. I have no connection with the distant company. FedEx works well.
Please use the magnifying glass, it's worth it !
Benutzt bitte die Lupe,es lohnt sich !

This hands-free hanging magnifier belonged to my paternal grandparents. Van Waffle (Pappy) might have used it for looking at his stamp collection or Fern (Mimi) might have used it to read books and the newspaper. I felt closer to Pappy than my other three grandparents. He had been a self-made, successful business owner and a hard man by many accounts. I never saw that side of him. The year I was born he suffered a heart attack and retired. I guess it softened him. He had time for me. He remained active and did not have another heart attack until 20 years later when he died peacefully in his sleep, age 82. I've kept this magnifier since Mimi moved out of their house into a nursing home 30 years ago, knowing it would become useful someday. So far I have only used it two or three times to fix difficult knitting errors. Pappy would be puzzled to find me using it in fibrecraft, but he shared my enjoyment of gardening and storytelling.

J'ai été intriguée par cet artiste en art graphique (je l'ai su plus tard) qui faisait des trous sur une immense feuille à l'aide d'une loupe pour un travail en art graphique. Quelle patience !!
Il m'a dit être sur Flickr, c'est comme ça que j'ai connu ce site formidable !! 😍
I was intrigued by this graphic artist (I thought it later) who was making holes in a huge sheet of paper with a magnifying glass for graphic art work.
What patience!!! He told me he was on Flickr, that's how I knew about this great site! 😍
An LED-illuminated magnifier. This enlarged and enhanced version of an ordinary magnifying glass is an indispensable device, especially to my aging eyes.

If you go on with this nuclear arms race, all you are going to do is make the rubble bounce.
If you have ten thousand regulations you destroy all respect for the law.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
In those days he was wiser than he is now; he used to frequently take my advice.
In war, you can only be killed once, but in politics, many times.
In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies.
India is a geographical term. It is no more a united nation than the Equator.
It is a fine thing to be honest, but it is also very important to be right.
It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations.
It is a mistake to look too far ahead. Only one link in the chain of destiny can be handled at a time.
