The arteries of life by vikdaddy

The arteries of life

I've done so little today. I woke up late and watched TV all afternoon. It must have drizzled overnight, because there was those nice raindrops on the grass in the back garden, as well as on a few fallen leaves. I took a small branch of leaves into the house to take a few macro shots.

Again, I used the reverse macro technique with my 50mm lens. I took quite a few shots of these leaves, and again I vacillated between my photos. In case you're interested, here are the rest of my images ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/vikdaddy/).

My brother and my cousin are staying round this evening. We haven't spent time together for ages. We used to all the time when we were younger, so it should be good to catch up and act like the young prats we used to be!

Canon EOS 450D, f/0, 1/60, ISO-100
