Home alone

I had the afternoon to myself today
so took the opportunity to
experiment with macro and
making a collage.

More photographs

A few more photographs....

Photography

I have been enjoying using the new lens so here are just a few of the many photographs I have been taking over the last couple of weeks.

It has proved to be a good walk around lens as well as macro.

The pony was in a children's zoo and posed beautifully for some photographs.

The orchid was a bargain buy - just £2.00 in a garden centre sale. I used Mr. Spinning J's flashgun for orchid and bud shots.

Cold and Frosty Day

I took this photograph late afternoon - the sky
was quite amazing.













This cheeky chap was
raiding the bird feeder.

Macro Lens

I am really excited about having a macro lens - it was delivered today and this is just a small selection of the photographs I have taken. I have always thought macro interesting and am determined to learn all the ins and outs of using this lens to best effect.

Majacraft Little Gem Spinning Wheel

I have a new spinning wheel - a Majacraft Little Gem and I am very pleased with it. The photographs show it complete with Mr Spinning J's Flyer which he made especially for the Little Gem - he finished it today - so just in time : )

New Flyer

Mr Spinning J has made me two new flyers for my Majacraft Spinning Wheel. The photograph shows the second one which is lighter than the first and I am hoping that I will be able to do lace weight yarn using this flyer - they both work amazingly well. He is now looking into making a jumbo flyer - no he is not up for grabs : )
