practice

Today i spent a little bit of time practicing my closeups and flower photos as well as my black and white editing.  I am such a fan of b/w photography but it's actually difficult to edit just right.  Some photos call for overexposure, others require filters to bring out certain colors as brighter white or darker black.  Either way this bright yellow flower created some good practice for me!

i was capturing some water beads on a piece of grass and the second i started to snap this grasshopper joined me.  He was so well behaved as i was within about 3 inches of him and there he just sat!  What fortune!!
