For my get pushed challenge from Lisa Poland @homeschoolmom to make a "macro shot of something from nature, go get up close and personal with nature a little bit." I have lots to learn -- including to clean the spot I had noticed earlier off the lens before going out to shoot. I've had to clone it out as best as I could from the center of all the shots I'm posting.

@homeschoolmom another closeup shot. Does it qualify as macro? I used that setting on the camera.

Nice job on both of these up close and personal nature shots! (What IS the difference between a closeup and a macro anyway?)

Nicely done

Hey Mary!
You've been doing this challenge for such a long time so I thought it might be fun to remake a picture that you took in your first months on this site, but better of course.
I really loved your drag queen photo's by the way, have you ever heard of Ru Paul's Drag race? It's like America's next top model, but then with drag queens, it's amazing :)

Thanks @maaayke I have plenty of photos I'm not satisfied with. Now I have to find some I can reshoot. I have heard of Ru Paul's show, but never seen it. I think one of the drag queens who came to KSU the other week has been on it. Victoria Fox -- great performer!
