You know, there is a lot of pressure with blogging. For instance…on the first day of the year, a person should share some deep, meaningful thoughts.

Meaningful thoughts about the last year.

Meaningful thoughts about the new year.

Sharing deep thoughts…and possibly the mean of life…with your blogging friends.

Though I already had the stress of picking my favorite photos of 2008. Really, blogging is stressful!! :wink: Then, it did occur to me there was another option for the first post of the new year…

A less stressful option,
without all the expectations and responsibilities.

I could just borrow The Photography One’s macro while he is home, and take macro photos until I drop from exhaustion. What a fun way to end the year and start the new year. Especially with my desire (not resolution, mind you…haven’t done those) but my desire to improve my photography skills in 2009.
By the way. I did not STEAL the macro lens this time. We swapped lenses. I lent him a good lens of mine and he gave me his macro for a few weeks. Gotta love having the same brand DSLR camera as another photographer in the family! Sharing lenses is fun!
Happy New Year my friends. May the new year be kind to you.

At first I thought, “deep thoughts”? I didn’t write any deep thoughts. My post was dumb! And then I started really looking at the pictures and got so excited because it sure looked like you got a macro lens for Christmas and didn’t tell us!!
Love the photos, Kacey! Have fun with it.
Happy New Year!!!
Sometimes those deep, profound thoughts require action, and I’m too burnt out for action already. But I do love your photos and the beautiful colors. Thank you for a peaceful start to the day. :smile:
I love the macro lens pictures. Happy New Year to you and may 2009 be a wonderful year for you and your family.
Happy New Year, Kasey!
I love your shots taken with the macro lens. Someday, I will have one…or at least have one to borrow1
Happy New Year!
Had so much fun with the macro lens…might have to just repeat the day of macroing again today! Happy New Year everyone!
Happy New Year’s, Kasey. Love the pictures. That macro lens is great.
Happy New Year! Love the macro’s;)
I’ll take macro shots over deep meaningful thoughts any day! Love them!
Happy New Year, Kakcey!
I meant “Kacey”, of course!
Melissa…Kakcey has kind of a nice ring about it though!!
And kind to you too, my friend!
To the best 2009 for you and your lovies!
Oh I wish my husband was a photography person. He does take photos but not like me. Maybe some day. Enjoyed looking at the photos. I do have a new Maco lens that I need to get out and use more. I need a lot of work with this one.
Absolutely gorgeous photos! Makes me want to try a macro lens!
May 2009 be exactly what you are hoping for.
I am just DROOLING over that lens. What’s the next gift holiday? I wonder if Cupid delivers those for Valentine’s Day? It would sure beat another box of chocolate.
