Here are a few more shots I took.  If I had all my flower photos printed, they’d fill a ton of albums!!

I just LOVE the way the veins show up in these macros!

Elijah is just THE sweetest and happiest baby!  I don’t know HOW Adam and Kym got so lucky!

Aiden just wouldn’t give up wanting Papa to open the “building” so he could see the lawn mower and tractor.  So Papa decided to take him for a ride on the garden tractor but as soon as Papa started it, Aiden ran to the deck.  I asked him if he was going to take a ride with Papa and he said “no!, I don’t like it!”  So parking it and shutting it off AND removing the key was good enough for Aiden to climb in the seat and play.  Of course, he had to know what EVERYTHING was (gear shift, brake pedal, front grill, headlights, mower deck and so on until we went over the entire tractor.

Settings used were: Aperature Priority, 85mm, f/5.6, 1/60, ISO 1600

These photos were shot with settings of: Manual, 50mm, f/1.8, 1/640, ISO 2500
