May 8 with a new lens

Pin It

I got a new lens for my camera and took some test shots this evening.  It's overcast here as we are due for thunder storms but so far, I like it.

I think it is the color of the deck umbrellas that I love so much

my grocery store flowers purchased on May2.  4 days later, still lovely.  straight out of camera, no post processing

I took them outside to shoot them.  I do love my cow vase...

lemon marmalade

Pin It I made my first batch of lemon marmalade :)  this was a 3 day process that I followed from the Craftsy class Jam & Marmalade by Rachel Saunders.

What I love about this recipe is there are only 3 ingredients - lemons, sugar and water.

sliced and seeded lemons

The syrup from quartered and boiled lemons plus a couple freshly juiced lemons
