Moose, thanks for the kind words. Hand-held close work is limited by my
back and stability on my feet. After that, I just crop as much as I feel
I can accept. This lens/camera combination has surprised me. It is
light, I can hand-hold it, and it is sharp.

Butterflies, insects and flowers are disappearing. Looking for new
subjects, I spotted some lily buds that have potential for future

I've been frustrated by this unsupported Spectrum telephone cable for
more than six months. A February ice storm uprooted a large pine tree
which damaged utility lines and my backyard fence. Despite several
promises, the support cable for the telephone line still hangs and my
letter to the local Spectrum store was returned to sender because
they have no mail box at the store.

I spotted a couple of mushrooms in the grass. To the naked eye, they
appear as a white blob, but when enlarged, a lot of detail appears.

More great results from that camera/lens combo!
Is the mushroom shot as close as you could get? With a thread adapter,
your Olympus IS/L Lens A-Macro H. Q. Converter f=40cm will work, and
might work well, for closer shots. Too bad you didn't get the B-Macro,
55 mm thread, as that would be perfect.
Still, the 49 mm version may work well. That close, and magnified by
the C-U lens, there may be little or no vignetting.
