I was on the computer a couple of evenings ago when himself calls out from the bathroom that there is water all over the floor. Jumped up, ran in and a pipe had sprung a leak. The plumber came this morning and thankfully it's all fixed. I had been able to put a container under the leak to catch the water and that worked until we got a hold of someone to fix it.
It's a glorious day. Sunny and relatively warm but the wind is sharp. Roger was on the deck with just a shirt on sharpening an axe and I said to him that this was unreal, it being January. So...decided to get the camera and try some macro shots. I made a few adjustments to the camera recently so wanted to make sure the macro was working okay. Just a few bits of plants.
Lavender in January.
Wormwood against the snow.
The reason I like this is, if you click on picture to enlarge, I love the look of the hairy bits beneath the dark ball.

And of course, one of the Blue Jays.

I would say the macro setting is working like a dream - and the photographer's working pretty good too :D
Excellent pictures OC
(glad your plumbing problem's now solved)
The macro setting sure seems to be working just great. I too love that little hairy beard under that black ball.
Lucky you, T shirts in Jan. Not around here I'm afraid.
Tricia, yes I'm pleased that the macro is working okay. I want BEES and BUGS now, lol.
Flydragon, It's highly unusual to be out in anything but heavy winter clothing this time of year. No doubt the winter will come on strong any day now. The temperatures have been above normal for this time of year, this past while.
love the berries and the girl :D
I thought you meant just a shirt on as in: no pants. lol!
lol Janine, not quite that warm.
Hi OC, Happy New Year, I forgot to mention your Quicksilver list. Of your 9 birds there would be 8 new ones there for me...The only one I've seen is the Dark eyed ( Slate-coloured (oops, colored) Junco. Those Goldfinches are very nice, nothing like our Eurasian birds...
