My new Ditigal SLR 3100 with the 60 mm Marco Lens

By
In an earlier blog post, I mention improving the photo taking aspect, and you could see my photos from yesterday, that I need work.

I mentioned that I purchased a new camera and I want to share some photos. Most of the photos are of my garden, over the past few weeks, but I took one of my Bear Paw (laundered many of times) quilt. You can see you can pick up all the details, including that dog hair. So, this lens would be perfect for highlighting quilting.
I couldn't help throwing one in of Cal.
