Black Fly





I had never heard the song Black Fly by ZZ Top until I looked it up on LimeWire. What have we been doing you ask? Cleaning house and taking photos with a cheap little macro attachment I found on Amazon. The attachment will only work on still life shots bc it is basically a magnifying glass that can be attached to a camera. Pix look cool though. The Fly shots are cool. Click on them to get the full effect. The photo of the Christmas Carol program with the last letters of the word Christmas cut off, is the one taken with the macro lens. It is a truer image. My camera would not take the photo that closely without the flash, which washed out the true colors on the program.

Last night we went to see a production of "A Christmas Carol" put on by the folks @ a local church to help raise money for 4 local charities. It was an awesome production. The actors/actresses were amazing and had to have put a great deal of time into the production. The set was equally well done. Unfortunately, the boys did not do as well @ this play as they did @ last weeks "Rudolph." We still have the seasons "Nutcracker" to attend next weekend, only the girls to that one, I know better!

Today we are off to visit some friends. We will share the camera, make some cookies, and talk about gnomes. Yes, gnomes. I like gnomes (and fairies) and so does Logan. I found a 12", inexpensive, wooden gnome while I was Christmas shopping, so I bought it. I am bringing it to him today.

Ok, this was just a lame post so I could post these pix. Should have just posted them without the commentary. Rambling now...not sure why I am even awake at this hour of the AM.

The fly pics rock! The lens is really amazing. When are you going to the Nutcracker? We have tickets to the show on the 19th.

Nutcracker next Friday @ the Bass Hall, mezzanine seating. I found that the Metropolitan Ballet also preforms @ Bass Hall and the tickets to their production are priced the same weather you attend @ UTA or Bass Hall. We opted for Bass Hall bc we enjoy getting dressed up! Just me and the girls!
