Love the photo - you always take such cool pics! I do have one question though - I keep hearing people talk about macro’s - what is a macro? is it different than a photo? is that a silly question? XX
I just added your cute little picture wotsit to my blog links - i really like it :o)

Happy Easter [or happy weekend, if you don’t observe the holiday], and if you can, drop by for my metal interpretation!!! See if you can guess what it is.

Actually the 7k plus is all about Rhodium. :-) I will definitely not be able to afford that -not a chance.
by mejimama, on March 22 2008 @ 11:40 pm
No it’s not a silly question. Not at all. I’d reply in a separate email though. Thanks for the message.
