Very Nice Things

My pal Jen from over at Crickets Eye View brought these to me today as she dropped off my prize for winning her Macro Friday Contest (again). Can you believe it? These weren't even my prize. I won a set of beautifully personalized note cards which I will post soon (but my two shots of them came out very blurry and no amount of sharpening made the blurriness better).

So my whole house smells like fresh flowers, ooh that intoxicating hycathinth! She also picked up a book for mother's from a second hand shop. What a kind soul :)

I met Jen a couple years back when I offered irises on Freecycle. She, like me, is also a nature lover, and gardener and loves to find neat things to do. She is also my neighbor (kinda), who lives just one town over from me. We have kept in touch and even swapped more plants since the irises. Anyway, she has this cool blog which consists mainly of her photography and also books, projects, and thoughts too. She has a contest she runs most weeks on Friday's called Macro Fridays where you have to guess what the pictures are that she has cropped and zoomed in on. It's a blast! I have won three times already. My first two prizes were 8x10 prints of my choice from her blog.

If you love photography and/or possibly trying to guess at what pictures are and dare to try guessing in her Macro Friday Contests, you should stop by her blog! Thanks again Jen!
