Silent Sunday – More of the macro from 2014
Also, some other macro that isn’t flowers. Happy Sunday.

Extension tubes vs no extension tubes

Reposting a before and after – The Dunedin Train Station
We have had a visitor staying with us for the last week or so and it has been busy around here. I thought today you might like to either see this for the first time […]
