So a few days ago I was all geeked up about slapping my Nikkor 60 Micro lens on my Nikon FE and taking it out for some macro fun in the sun. Loaded with 36 exposures I thought I will make sure to carefully compose all shots and make em good ones.

Well I did just that!

Unfortunately for me, I didn’t use all 36 exposures so I thought I’ll just change out lenses back to the 50mm and put the camera away for another day of shooting.

Well I found out that I screwed the whole roll when I switched out the lens and overexposed everything

What a Maroon!

Well I’m determined to get out and take some macros but I’m not going to make that mistake again, cause this time lo and behold I dug out my beautiful little Pentax K1000 and guess what it came with a nice set of Marumi Macro Filters that I had tucked away and forgotten about.

Now I can simply slap these on without having to change out the lens and not loose any film

I’m super happy and relieved at the same time!

We were coming in from taking some pics of the evening sky and as he sat on the steps. A little blurry but when he sits like that and the light is like that, I gotta take what I can get.

Even on days when I’m feeling crappy like today this little guy makes me smile. Sinus infections suck, but hopefully I will be back to normal asap, for now here is a cute Yorkie Pic of the Day since I haven’t posted one in sometime.

I absolutely love that my friends and family are using Facebook to celebrate Mother’s Day and thought the sentiment of everyone posting pictures with their Mama’s for Mother’s Day was soo sweet and appropriate.

Here is a picture of my hero, my lovely Granny that raised me from a baby and still to this day her words remind me of who I am.

I love you every minute of the day, always!

Some pics from our venture through the Cascade Loop. This was a total spontaneous trip so nothing was planned, it was just a nice day to take a long drive and see the sights. We started through Arlington/Darrington, then through the North Cascades National Park, stopping in Winthrop and then making out way back down through Chelan, driving along the Columbia River then through Wenatchee , Leavenworth and back home again. We’re hoping next time we take time to hike some trails and stop off more often rather than driving straight through. All in all it was a spectacular drive and time well spent with my hubby!
