This also marks my first spring with my new macro lens and my first beetle encounters in the garden. This is going to be a wonderful season on rediscovery for me. YIPPEE!!! The weather is amazing today. It hit a high of 23 degrees in the afternoon when I was at work. I feel energized already after a very long winter.
happy monday
