I am not interested in shooting new things - I am interested to see things new.
-Ernst Haas

The focus is tricky and I dig out my camera manual to review my camera settings. I google the various “tricks” my camera might provide me as I play around with bending the lens back and forth, something a camera lens should not do. It is easy to become engrossed as time flies. I have shot a couple hundred images in the past week since the new lens arrived, all of them in our backyard. The process is slow going, arousing my curiosity in ways that are challenging and just plain fun! And that in itself is enough to keep me going. The past few years have been eye opening for me in so many ways, and this practice is part of that growth.
