With people coming around and commenting is will happen. Just wait around and see. <br /><br />And I hope you do get that Dream Camera. The Nikon D80 and when you get it buy a second battery so you will always have a fresh one handy. I got two Canons left and each takes a different battery but I can't begin to tell you how many times I have had to grab the second battery to finish the project. <br /><br />Tell your hubby you want one right now or you will stop fixing him green beans and ham hocks with diced up onions. Oh so good on butter bread. You will have one in no time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-51708993641058534352009-08-01T13:35:17.467-04:002009-08-01T13:35:17.467-04:00wonderful post and love the photos :)wonderful post and love the photos :)Jeane Myershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07027843717050683473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-9122664288806602112009-08-01T13:25:48.743-04:002009-08-01T13:25:48.743-04:00Fantastic macros, Willow!

Does that count?<br /><br />I assume you put the camera down between your ankles? I still do it that way and read lots of blogs where some followed the advice and got some interesting pictures too. I was out and about in my PJs this morning getting all wet, bending over the grass and snapping pictures around my ankles. Once in a while I get a big winner. And then I am happy for the rest of the day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-44941931645969557542009-08-01T11:17:00.193-04:002009-08-01T11:17:00.193-04:00Willow, It's wonderful seeing the world throu...Willow, It's wonderful seeing the world through your eyes!
