Was at the market again this morning and was so pleased to see they has some strawberries as I need a good photo of them for the children. Took my macro shots while I was there.
Put an extender on my macro lens today. Could have picked a better day though - perhaps less windy. Inspired by www.flickr.com/photos/kimmiedking/4608119068/

From the archives=) a snap taken while I assisted with a photography class with Girl Scouts USA . Notice the itsy bitsy spider and they all wanted a macro shot ....
Was watching the bees on one of the flower tubs that was hanging over the bridge. This bee very kindly allowed me to take a second shot.
This is a citronella geranium and mosquitos don't like it, which I think is great because mosquitos really like me.
I bought two of these plants last year and put one on the front porch and one on the back porch. It seemed to help cut down on the mosquito harassment better than other things I've tried. I want to buy a few more this year and strategically place them for a mosquito barrier!
This shot also serves as a promo for the Ohio Foothills group's upcoming April challenge - "Macro Mania".
The DOF lever is only useful when this "macro" lens is mounted (reversed) directly onto the camera body.
When this "macro" lens is mounted on the front of a normal camera lens, closing the DOF lever (lens iris) wil only reduce the field of view to a very small spot. In this configuration you can control the DOF by closing down the aperture on your normal camera lens.
