Experimenting
Remembering that I had taken some close ups (not true macros) of both plants and animals with my first camera, a Canon Powershot 90, I thought I'd dig it out and see if it still worked.
It didn't - not sure what the problem is but the batteries drained in about 2 minutes after turning the camera on - so I went on to Plan B. The Pro90 had an optional "close-up" lens you could attach to the front of the camera for magnification, so I attached it to the front of my shortest lens to see if it would work with an SLR. It took some practice to get any benefit out of it, but eventually I figured out how to get it to work.
These are two of the results - raindrops on hostas - and I think they turned out okay for a first try. More pix tomorrow.

Wren, I really like the top one! The water droplets and the dapples of sunlight make for a pleasing picture. Very nice!
Looks like you are having fun Wren!
Very refreshing. I wish it would rain here!
Mark - I am having fun, and learning in the process.
FC - If I could, I'd email you some rain.
