I spent at least fifteen minutes deciding if I should use a tripod and another fifteen deciding if I should convert to B&W, but I digress. Closeup of sunflower at an Amish flower stand: https://photographyocd.com/2020/07/09/the-little-prince/

Hi Cee, I like the way you not only take photos of nature, but also photos of things most people won’t think to take, like the bulldog keys. Good job, Phyllis

I call it a macro when I use my real macro lens and a close up with any other camera, but it’s a mighty fine line.
I love your Robin. I’ve never gotten a really good shot of a Robin. They are always in motion.

That’s why this challenge is macro and close ups. Very few people do “true” macro, including me.
