Close Up

Last weekend, Michael and I took a drive out to Mount Usher Gardens to visit some new (and newly engaged!) friends. We had a fantastic morning and I’ll be writing more about it for you soon.

But for now, I thought I’d share my favorite trick my fun, fancy camera can do. Close ups! I dug out my manual, and I have the best of intentions of finding my way around the camera (just like Kara!) but for now, I’ll settle for something I think I’ve managed to get the hang of.

{pretty blue hydrangeas – you can’t tell here, but the petals were just enormous!}

{I love cosmos – must add them to the garden next year. They’re so cheery!}

{I don’t know what this guy is called, but I liked him. So vibrant red!}

{and one more cosmo for good measure!}
