Meet Ben.  

Some of you may ‘know’ my little boy already. We spend day and night together. My husband says we are joined at the hip. 

He’s the cutest little guy…. so gentle and loving… sweet and full of character. There’s just so much to love about Ben.

Today I pulled out my macro lens… it’s been awhile! I’ve missed it! As I was taking close-ups of all the pretty flowers in our yard, Ben was right there with me …. I just had to take his pic. His beautiful golden lashes make me swoon. I mean…seriously… are they not just the cutest?

Today,  get in a little ‘closer‘ to something (or someone) you love and share with us. I’d love to see.

p.s. I’m running a little ‘up-close give away’ at the Café.  Stop by and share your up-close photos for a chance to win a few prizes……

  4. I've been taking close ups with my zoom lens lately. I just learned the technique this week. I can't wait to get my macro lens now. I love the photo of Ben. I hope I can do a couple of the puppies in my family justice with great pics too.

  11. I've been working on looking closer. Seeing pictures within the pictures. I think it's about taking the time to see the essence of something, the heart of it. Like Ben's sweet face…Here's my attempt, I challenged myself to a whole day of getting more intimate.

  18. Ben's a sweetie and I had just taken a close up of my beagle, but then I remembered the peeling door on my garden shed. It's been on my to-do list forever but I never get around to scraping and painting it. Now I know why … it's beautiful!! http://flic.kr/p/9Ws8ss Even SOC isn't bad http://flic.kr/p/9WrVGJ

  21. aw . sweet Ben . so very glad you have him Kim~

    I was creating my weekly friday post and the twine I was trying to use was hopelessly tangled .. instead of wallowing in frustration I just snapped a close up ..after all tangles are often part of the process right?! happy weekend friend

  36. The ever-elusive, wild Texas Bluebell – not Bluebonnet… but Bluebell. There is a difference. The biggest difference is that the Bluebell doesn't usually come back in the same spots that its has been before. It's really MIGRANT! So catch it when you can. The gorgeous periwinkle petals are vibrant when hundreds and thousands of the plants are in a field. Quite unusual. Also unusual is the macro lens I used here. It is Photojojo's macro lens for the iPhone 4. How much fun is that?

  50. Here is a close up of a pink thistle with a lunch guest of a tiny litle bee. Taken with a Nikon D90 equipped with a 50 mm lens with two attached extension tubes.

  54. Kim, Ben is so beautiful! Guess what, we're getting a new puppy soon and I'm feeling like an expectant mother:)
