I decided to forgo assignment number two and move on to assignment number three.
Macro is the new theme of the week. In the gallery of submitted images you'll see a plethora of close-ups of flowers, spiders, and bugs. Normally you would use a macro lens for such images. The lens allows you to get extremely close to a subject, resulting in larger-than-life detail of ordinary items, which can reveal an unexpected beauty. Unfortunately I don't possess such a lens for my digital camera, so I do the best I can with my regular lenses.

I submitted the image above: a close-up of a white calla lily that grows in my front yard. I love calla lilies. The graceful swooping shape of the large white petal, the soft lines, and the bright yellow center are a joy for me to look at. Every year I'm thankful for the new calla lilies that come up in my garden. The macro challenge was assigned for just the right week!
