My husband surprised me with a new toy when I got home from work today: a Canon EF f/2.8L Macro lens!! Much to learn but oh my goodness. This is major. An entirely new world to explore! Here’s a sample of some of my first few shots.

On Sunday evening, I rode with my husband while he played nine holes. As I enjoyed the views (and endured my husband’s grumbling at the occasional missed put), I snapped a few photos. The horses weren’t out that day but the grasses swaying here in the warm breeze still took my breath away!

Cee’s Oddball Photo Challenge: Week #24
7 Eleven
I tried to stay true to ‘a photo a day’ but life intruded. My Sidewalk Nomad was launched with good intentions but never really went anywhere. Next up, I attempted a weekly photo review but that, too, fizzled out.
Now, rolling up my sleeves – and determined that THIS one will stick – I’m introducing yet another photo series called 7 Eleven where I’ll post seven random photos that I’m either particularly proud of, intrigued by or that I’ve deemed just plain fun on the 11th of each month.
And so, here they are, my maiden voyage 7 Eleven companions…
