Day-72 Macros Porcelain Looking Rose Magnet

I decided to call this photo a Porcelain Looking Rose because it reminded me of those porcelain rose knick-knacks that you see. This rose is also being made as bookmarks, prints and mouse-pads. This flower is also one of my flowers I am using in my Wedding Collection I am creating on Zazzle, links soon to follow. http://amplify.com/u/a16fzl

Beauty of a Rose

Clipped from www.squidoo.com

The Beauty of a Rose

am almost ashame to admit this, but roses are not my favorite flower. However, I have found like many other kinds of flowers and things in Nature, I love to photography them.

Recently, I got a Nikon D3100 camera and I am trying hard to learn how to use it. It is not like my Fuji S1000 which was just a regular digital camera point and shoot. The Nikon is a much more advanced camera and I will admit at first did not like using it. The first time I took the camera out shooting, I took close to a 100 picture and only a hand full came out. I was so disappointed that I was tempted to return the camera and stick to using my Fuji. BUT that challenger part of me said, "NO WAY are you giving up!" So I practiced shooting pictures and just yesterday felt it was time to start using my larger lens.

Black and White Elder Mill Covered Bridge

Covered Bridges fascinate me.  This bridge is located in Watkinsville, Georgia and is one of four that I have photographed so far.  I have set a goal to take as many photos as possible of different covered bridges in different locations.

Often when I am out shooting photos, I see small things that captures my attention.  This happens to be the result of that.  These little dandelion puff balls are a childhood favorite.  Remember:  All you have to do is make a wish!!
