Happy Spring Friday!

April 26, 2013 By Erika Zane

26 Apr

I will post about our trip and how the kids did AND the adjustment period after getting back soon, but… we’re all still adjusting.

So, until I can get my act together, I leave you with a taste of Spring around our home:

Yes, many of these are macro.  No, I don’t have a real macro lens (except my ollo clip for my phone).  I do have a 50mm portrait lens however, and with some creativity and coordination, it can be used for macro photography.  If that peaks your interest, check this out!

Oh yeah, and a reorganized #aHeartFitFriday will be back soon, too!

    I’m so glad that you gave these a try! Thanks so much for sharing my tutorial with your readers. Isn’t using your 50mm lens as a macro so much fun? 🙂

    E, these are gorgeous! They look like beautiful watercolors. You could frame a few and hang on a wall as a nice focal point.
    Talk soon!

      Thanks Dana! I hadn’t even thought of that. That’s a great idea!

    Lovely execution of the 50mm lens as a macro. Certainly not an easy task and these are beautiful! I attempted my with 60mm macro lens actually. They turned out really unique. Thanks for sharing and linking to our challenge this week!

About me

Hello and welcome.  It’s been a while.  For Lent this year I decided to fast from the thing that took too much of my attention from what is truly important: Social Media.  Though there are countless amazing benefits to Social Media, after about a month offline so far, there are seemingly just as many negatives.  I never realized how much of my brain had been hijacked by it.  I’ve had so many revelations about how much easier it is to move forward when I’m not constantly reminded of the past.  But I still want to record my family as they grow at this ridiculous speed and, I’m realizing, so many of our family’s memories are here.  Those along with so many of the struggles and stages we’ve worked through.  Maybe in the midst of COVID19 isolation and my kids around me so often, I’m brought back to a time when they were too young for school and with me so often.  Writing here during that time helped make up for the limited adult conversation in my days and the overwhelm provided by my… little treasures 😉 My husband, fur babies, three fiesty kids, and I hereby extend an invitation to visit this little sneak peak into our life. We’re super flawed and broken and there aren’t too many dull moments around here.  And I promise it’s not always as magical as some of my golden hour, sun-soaked images would suggest.  There’s usually too much coffee in my system and we welcome all the prayers.  Come on over if you want to process with me.
