In your post, include a link to Patti’s original post and use the Lens-Artists tag so that everyone can find your post in the WP Reader. We are looking forward to seeing your interpretation.
Many thanks to Anne Sandler for her “It’s a Small World” challenge. She not only showed her remarkable macro images, but also taught us the techniques of taking macro and close-up photos.
Ann-Christine will host LAPC #132 next Saturday, January 23rd.
