I love close up photos. I have two close-up lenses and sometimes use a magnifying glass additionally, so that I can get closest possible. I have made a variety of different subjects, be it a goose, a sardine, flowers, insects etc. I must admit the goose was a very friendly one, instead of hissing at me, it looked at me curiously, maybe to find out if I had some bread. This bird was so cute because it had bow legs. You can see it’s tootsy wootsy down left. The sardines have been cleaned and fried in the oven with lemon juice, olive oil and garlic together with some tasty mashed potatoes with little pieces of sheep cheese and dried tomatoes. I like the photo with the thistle a lot, it nearly seams to spin. I picked the red current to cook some wonderful jam.
What a lovely collection of photos 🙂 – I do like the inquisitive goose!

maybe that saves her life. Nobody wants to eat Emma. She is together with a lot of other rural animals in a museum village. A wonderful place with old farm houses, old mills, old farm machinery and an old mom and pop shop.

Danke, liebe Stefanie. Ißt Du auch so gerne Sardinen? Mein Sohn liebt die. Ich kaufe sie bei der Metro für 5 Euro das Kilo. Die sind superlecker. Nebenbei mag ich Fische sehr gerne, weil sie so hübsche glänzende Farben haben. Habe schon mal Heringe gemalt und immer wieder eingefroren und gemalt bis sie stinkten, hehe. Aber gutes Bild geworden. Liebe Grüße unterm Regenschirm Mitza

Hi Debi, I have a Canon g1x and I have two close-up lenses and then I use an ordinary magnifying glass which I hold in front of the camera. That’s a little difficult because the focus is maybe 1 cm. Hope you are fine. I like your flower shots, too. Regards Mitza
