I wish I could roll the bloggy clock back one little week.
Last week, Beth’s You Capture challenge was Macro. I thought that meant get real close to the subject and snap the picture. So I did just that.
Then, we happened to be camping over the weekend and I was snapping some happiness shots for this week’s challenge and I shuffled through the 593 bells and whistles on my camera when low and behold, I scrolled past one called macro.
I began to snap glorious macro pictures and I got all happy and I thought to myself, I’m totally posting these this week. Who cares that I will be a week late. I was a picture snapping fool.
See here.
Oh my lands.
The detail.
Did I mention macro made me happy? This is what You Capture is all about, folks. Learning to use our camera.
How about this one?
And my absolute favorite except for that little hair that is plainly visable and the wrinkly finger is this one….
I’m pretty sure I heard harps playing when I saw this in my camera preview screen. My wedding ring makes me happy and I still smile each and every time I look at it. Ditto for my beloved Fossil watch.
Thanks for sticking around through my macro fit.

Now, onto some happiness.
As I said, me and my sweet fellers went camping this past weekend. They were happy boys!
They played in the water….
And they played with their friends…
Between figuring out my macro setting and spending time with my fellers and our friends, I was one happy girl!
Head over to I Should Be Folding Laundry(which I should be doing, thankyouvermuch!) for more pictures of happy people!

What kind of camera do you use? I just ordered a Nikon and I have a feeling I’m going to feel like a total idiot when it arrives!

Isn’t it a great discovery! I remember when I found mine. My first immediate picture was of a Folger’s coffee can sitting on the kitchen counter. Happy macro’ing!

The macro setting is wonderful isn’t it? You wait until you get extension tubes and a macro lens to add into the mix! Oh yeah, then you want studio lighting and a lightbox and all kinds of things! LOL! Can you tell I love macro too?
Your boys are cute. They look as if they are a lot of fun – as mine were!

My favorite tidbit is the “19″ showing in the watch. Something about that simply tickles me.
Lovin’ Macro Monday,
