First Color

I didn't have time to go on a photo shoot today, but I spotted this burst of yellow outside the clinic when I took my son for more blood work. All we know so far is that he is very anemic. More tests to see what might be causing that.

This is my first experiment with the new macro filters I bought last week. Meh. They are more like a magnifying lens than a camera lens and I suspect it will take me a while to figure them out. So this is the best of my first experiment with them.
