An Authentic Macro!!! WooHoo!!!
Thanks all for all the Christmas Book suggestions. I will look into a few of them. I was in COSTCO on Saturday and did find a little novel with a Christmas theme that looked cute. I don't have it with me right now so I don't remember the name off hand.Robert is safely home and torturing his brothers again...Life is good. He came in Saturday afternoon instead of in the morning since there was a last minute change of plans...such is life in the military...At least Continental didn't charge him to change his flight last minute, so good things!
Mark gave me an early Christmas present...a new lens!!! Yippee!!! I have a REAL Macro now. He wasn't going to try to pick it out himself so he told me to go pick it out and we went and got it Sunday. I got a 60mm f2.8 Nikon Macro. It is really fun and I am going to really enjoy this lens!!!
Todays shot is one that I took with the macro lens. Can anyone figure out what it is??? I bet Micki can guess since she does tons of these shots herself and probably has one somewhere like it.

Congrats. on getting the new lens. Is your macro the stitching on a baseball glove?
Have fun with the new lens and your family. How fun.
Cool macro, but I'll be honest... not a clue! Have fun with the lens!
I would say that is a pine cone up really close. It is really a cool composition with the repeating crescent shapes. Have fun with the new lens.
Great details and very nice use of DOF
it has the same "Alien" feel of Micki's current post too! no idea what it is, but it's a good mcro to be starting with!!
Enjoy your new lens! Sounds cool! It the photo of acorns or nuts of some kind?
hehehe nice macro laurie
you look happy isnt it?
Cake?
Great picture.
It looks like a closeup of a pecan. Am I close?
good to see you taking macro shot....my first thought was a bird's talon but that might be kinda creepy so im gonna say its a floral object of some sort...
Congratulations, Laurie!! Oh you will enjoy this lens.
I'm guessing (and I hate when the shoe is on the other foot) that this is a pinecone...but one of those friendly ones you all have up north. All of them in my yard have the worst thorns on the end of each petal.
Have fun getting in close and personal with the world around you.
I'm sure you'll have many years of enjoyment out of the new lens, what a great gift. The shot looks a bit like dried mushroom caps.
Congratulations with your Macro... I'm jalous ;-)
And I really don't know what this is...
Congrats on the new lens... I sold my macro (also a 60mm f/2.8) a few months ago and I've been missing it terribly since... the canon ef 100mm f/2.8 macro is yet another item on my christmas list :)
Beats me, but it sure is cool to look at.
Yay!! A 60mm 2.8! Sweet! Love this shot too...looks like a well opened pine cone..??? :)
I just went through your blog and enjoyed it very much. Looks like you are putting the macro to good use :) I would say it is a pine cone..?
That's disgusting :D Grats on new lens!
oooo!!! congratulations laurie...!
nice first shot as well..!
i have no idea what it is...
Robert home, new lens, X-mas in a few days, life really must be good. I am useless at these guesses so will not even try as nothing comes to mind :)
Suby
looks like.. the claws of a..?
congrats:)
Fantastic texture! I'm sure you will take pleasure with your new lens! (And so we too)
Now thats a real good news ... and to add new lenses ... Now this is an awesome photo ... and I have read what it is ... but I can say I coudnt have guessed it had I not been aware.
