Here are a bunch of shots we finally got off the camera. They're all taken around our house. Half of the Molokai shots have been downloaded, but we can't find one last card (!) so I'll wait a little longer to post our Molokai adventures. That card also has the lunar eclipse shots...so I'm anxiously awaiting it's discovery. The shot on the right I consider a "miss." I'm still working on my macro techniques, specifically depth of field. Plus, I was lazy and didn't get out the tripod, which is the right way to do things! But I really like the composition. Luckily, this plant is right outside our front door, so I'll be checking for more chances to get it right.
Here's a snail on another plant in our front yard. It's a bit deceiving, but the snail is really huge, probably slightly smaller than my fist. I couldn't get anything in the shot to contrast the size.
Here is a yellow rose which I lucked out with. Again, working on those macro techniques without a tripod is not the smartest thing to do! We now have five rose bushes planted in our side yard. Four planted by a landscaper, one by me. I don't touch these plants at all and they grow like weeds. I do not have a green thumb, it's just the climate and the hardy varieties. I just planted a bush that is growing well (hasn't bloomed yet) but the blooms should be a deep, luscious red and I can't wait to see them.

I would have thought you had a green thumb, as your mom sure does in her beautiful garden. :) I know I kill almost everything.
I can't believe the snail is that big. Ok, from my forensics background, next time, get a ruler and place under the snail so I can see just how big that guy is, b/c I'm in disbelief.
