3. My dear VenusRising!

That bench is in the spot that was designed for it...

I love being out there in any warm weather...too chilly today!

This new lens is clearer....I was hoping it would be!

Thank you so much, sweetie!

2. My Dear CaliforniaPeggy

You are killing me with these pics!!! :rofl: :rofl:

Its rainy, soggy, boring, gray, up here....:cry: :cry:

:hi:

"Two black crystalline rocks. Unclassifiable. Objects on the border between the living and the non-living. A reminder of the thin line that separates the animate from the inanimate. Something to ponder on-something to stay the hand when it reaches out innocently for the whitened pebble, the veined stone, the dead, unmoving rocks of our planet."

Oh, sweetie...I'm sorry!

I don't mean to kill you, not in any way!

Tell you what...the next rainy, boring day we have...

I'll take some of that sort of pic...

Just for you...

It's not always beautiful here, you know!

Your new lens rocks! The clarity is amazing.

Also, I'm surprised that those delicate flowers survived last weekend's wind/rain!

8. My dear huskerlaw!

Yeah, I'm happy!

The flowers may have started coming out after the rain...

I haven't been outside in a while!

But those succulents are pretty hardy...

Thanks, sweetie!

That about covers it, sweetie...:blush:

Funny, I've always seen myself as a bit of an underachiever...

Maybe not!

Thank you...

Thanks, sweetie!

I'm loving it!

Money well spent...

I had the camera on the "flower" setting as well...

It gives a nice macro effect...
