    Did somebody get a new macro lens for their birthday? 🙂

    Great photos.

    Bottlebrush photo seems to be missing for me.

    1. Ha! Yes macro lenses are fun. Bottlebrush displays for me, but I’ll check into it.

    Beautiful. What photo storage do you use Basia? You can delete that spiders leg now . Lol

    1. Ha ha, yeah I think the spider leg is an acquired taste! I store my photos on an external hard drive, with another drive as back-up. Which has worked well for me for years, until the hard drive crashed on me recently. I’m still trying to get it recovered.
