Life in Macro

I got some macro lenses for my camera this week, so most of the photos in this post are my experimenting with those. Warning for any arachniphobes (Alissa) - there is a spider pic (I like them and this one gives me a slight case of the heebee jeebees). I'll put that pic last.

Sherrie and I went hiking and caching up on the Catamount Falls trail in Green Mountain Falls today. Our hike was cut a little short by some rain and thunder, but we still did about 5 miles. Here's a picture of the falls near the start of the trail:

Now on to the macro shots...
