Tamron 60mm Macro Lens


Friday I purchased a macro lens.  Got a good deal (I think) from Rockbrook Camera (discounted price and hefty rebate).  Have been looking at Macro lenses for shooting flowers.  New lens is Tamron 60mm f/2 Macro 1:1.  Photo taken hand-held.  I can see that using my tripod will help for macro shots.

Looking forward to getting out to shoot some flowers to check out the lens more.  Note: The color is not vivid as the tree is covered with road dust.

Best Part of the Day


My love of sunrises comes from my father.  As a farmer, he was always up with the sun.  I heard this many mornings when I did not want to get up and moving (my younger days).

This photo was taken in August, 2005 - just a couple months after I started riding my bicycles.  I was driving to Silver City to ride the Wabash Trace.
