Sunshine’s Macro Monday #11
I’m now taking close-ups at home using my mini iPad. These were captured while enjoying La Dolce Vita in nearby Alassio to celebrate our 42nd wedding anniversary!
I’ve had lots of helpful advice from the blogosphere, for which I’m most grateful, though I still find it easier to photograph things which don’t move! Fortunately the pigeons below were happy to pose.
Sunshine’s Macro Monday is a challenge hosted by Irene encouraging us to scrutinise the smallest of details by getting up close and personal and bringing someone or something to life in a photograph. It’s a one day challenge without prompts. Irene posts a Sunshine’s Macro Monday post each Monday, just after midnight Central Time (US) so don’t forget to use the tag SMM and mention Sunshine’s Macro Monday somewhere on your post, create a pingback or add a link in the comment’s section of her post.
You seem to be getting the hang of it. Good job.

I sent you a message via the contact form on your site asking for your email address so I can (finally) send you my guest post. Did you receive it?

No I didn’t I will see if I can find it but Barb Strickland was the one who asked for it. She wanted to do a guest post with you I thought?
