Despite a busy day, fresh cut flowers in my kitchen beg to be photographed!

More close up flowers. Because having a contest focused on close-ups of nature means I can!

Announcing our third week contest for August, “Getting in Close: Nature/Landscapes.”

Congratulations to Paul Grand for his shot, “Sandal beach bling,” in our Getting In Close: Random Objects contest.

Macro shots of flowers: cliché? Ah, who cares. I love my zoom lens!

Tried my hand at the August contest “Getting in Close: Random Objects.” Also tried my hand at photo editing with Picnik.

Announcing our second week contest for August, “Getting in Close: Random Objects.”

Congratulations to this week’s “Getting in Close: People” contest winner, Adam Melancon, for his shot “Addie.”
