Ok #photographers I have a question

If you had $999 and could buy a new camera with it, what would you buy? What if your focus was generally nature/macro? You know…like this…only with a better camera…lol

Went to the beach this morning and took photographs of the sunrise, then headed to the jetty for more photography fun. Was a bit chilly at first, but shaped up to be a beautiful day. Now back to work!

I have to admit that I'm disappointed in myself for not taking up polymer clay sooner. I honestly can't remember the last time I enjoyed something this much- perhaps when I first got a camera, maybe? Anyway, my novice attempts aren't too bad, so I've now created a necklace for myself, which I love. It is a symbol from the Gypsy Road Tarot, the Windmill, which stands for happiness, blessings and good fortune. The windmill is green, which indicates good health, hope, and a fresh start.

I've also made a tiny witch and penguin, as well as a fairy and dragonfly sitting on a log. These are destined for egg ornaments. Went to Michaels yesterday with +Stacy Reckard (who has been rocking some awesome miniatures of her own!) so I now have ribbon and beads. Last night I finished blowing out two eggs, so we're getting pretty close to being able to assemble the first of the ornaments. I'm pretty excited about the whole thing.

Writing Exercise #6.

Here's how these exercises work: I'll share a picture and you write a description of what you see, a description which would allow readers to picture the scene, place or person in their own mind. I'm tagging them as #writingworkout

Important Note: Since the challenge here is to describe something you aren't familiar with, if you do recognize who or what is in the photograph, be sure not to post it, or you'll spoil the fun for the other participants :)

Today's challenge: Describe this scene.
