  36. 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.

  39. 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
