You made me laugh!

I like how those turned out too. I keep trying to get as close as I possibly can! Fill the lens!

Thanks so much, dear Curt.

I don't think I could handle CO's winter weather.

Here, rain is the worst thing we encounter. I stay home if it's raining!

I made sure to buy some berries before I started snapping photos! I always buy from this vendor. Their produce is great!

Because of MissCaliforniaPeggy! (in reference to post #1)

Your closeups are so beautiful and clear! I enjoy seeing all that fresh produce this time of the year. In Ohio we got snow.

I've been practicing doing closeups. Andy always encouraged me to fill the lens, and I love doing it.

It's really fun!

Thanks for your lovely comments too.

You could have handled Colorado's winter weather today. It was 68 degrees in Denver, a record for the date.

Thank you, my dear Bundbuster, for your kind comments.

I love saturated colors along with getting the closeup.

Sometimes it's a challenge but I like that!

that 3rd photo looks like what they call ground cherries in the southeast....i think i've heard them referred to as gooseberries in the US as well, but you rarely see them. here in costa rica they are called uchuvas and they grow everywhere. they're delicious.

Yes, gooseberries are what we call them here. I've had them, and for me, they didn't taste the way I'd thought they would.

I'm really pleased that my photos passed muster with you.
