It was amazing to see in person, but I became so sick of the snow/ice that it was all I could do to repost these photos!The two flower shots were taken with my Nikon 105mm macro. Last year when I bought the D610, Nikon just happened to offer the body/lens combo for a really good price. Although the lens was one I eventually wanted to buy, it wouldn't have been on my radar without the savings. The tulips were a pot I bought at the store. I set them on a box in front of the shed. The black background is a piece of poster board taped to the shed. Shhh....don't tell anyone! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> The bleeding heart photo was taken looking through the viewfinder rather than using Live View although I did manually focus. I am still learning about macro--I love flowers but get squeamish around bugs. Me neither! I only saw this one but don't know if they had more. The rear wheels spin to propel the machine. It's amazing to see it use tires that are so similar to tractor tires, but those tire treads are like flippers that move the aquacycle. It definitely looked like fun, but since I don't swim, I'd rather stay on land and take photos! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
