Up close

Are you getting tired of my close up/macro shots yet? I can't help it. The details were things that I ignored for so long, I am having an ongoing love affair for the up close and personal. They actually jump right in front of me now, like little children saying "look at me! look at me!"

The prompt at Bella's 52 photos project this week is sharing our preparations for Thanksgiving, or our gathering, or something we are thankful for. Yesterday my sweet boy offered to help me set the Thanksgiving table. He even polished the not-so "silver" ware and wine glasses to get the spots off. I am such a lucky mama.

Speaking of lucky, we have a winner for the mug giveaway.

  5. What a beautiful table, and a sweet thing for you and your boy to do together. I'm not tired of the macro at all :) I agree with Cheyenne - it serves as a reminder to note some of the smaller things we may otherwise overlook. Enjoy your Thanksgiving!
