O! Christmas Tree

Follow the prompt by Sticky Fingers and post a photograph which best describes your interpretation of the theme for The Gallery.

This year, our Christmas tree stands on a table, well out of the reach of the devil Boxer puppy. She loves all things pretty and dangly, and quick as a wink, the decorations will be off the tree, back to her den. My choice of decorations? A selection of African themed beaded fancies, and painted balls and little animals.

This is my favourite Christmas card. Received from our 6 year old godson who lives in Melbourne. It is in Japanese, but I thought his Christmas tree fits in with the theme too.

The Gallery - New

Each week, I follow the prompt by Sticky Fingers and post a photograph which best describes my interpretation of the theme for The Gallery.

The theme this week is something new. I have a new macro lens for my DSLR camera. And the difference is remarkable. As I'm a novice photographer, I decided to buy a Tamron lens, not as pricey as the Canon lens, but for my needs, just as good. To show the benefit of a macro lens, I snapped the box using the standard 18 - 55mm lens.

Then, I snapped the same box, from the same distance using the new macro lens - well, I think you can see the difference!

And now I'm out and about snapping away in macro, with some new pics on Mad dog woman of Shackleford.

I must confess that gifts are bought and wrapped, Christmas cards sent, Christmas cake baked.

And we are really looking forward to the Christmas break.
