New camera- playing with Macro mode

Tami and I were playing around with the new camera and took some photos just to see how they would turn out- it’s nice to have a camera that does all the work isn’t it.

Asia's Inspired: Butterfly Wings

She’s a crafty one ‘eh? Asia went to town the other night doing one of her secret projects that she had a sudden inspiration to do. It’s quite interesting for her Mom and I to sit back and watch her think her way through her projects.
