My first love in the world of photography is Macro. I have always enjoyed taking pictures but never had nice equipment. Around year 2000, I got a digital camera that had a Macro mode and I began shooting close up images of my flowers in the yard. I was hooked after seeing my first "in focus" Macro of a pansy in my garden. I have improved somewhat since that time and hopefully will continue to improve. Most of these images are from my backyard, flowers from "Hubby" and a trip to Crested Butte, CO in July of 2009, just after their Wildflower festival. Enjoy!!!
