I love my new Canon PowerShot A610 camera, because it can take much better macros than my old Canon PowerShot SD100. I can shoot as close as 1cm. Below are some photos I took earlier today.

Back in July 9 our Jade Plant broke off and I asked for advice here on LiveJournal. We replanted the plant, and it’s doing okay. ( July 29 entry )

Our dog Kelly likes to watch me photograph plants. Unfortunately, she also steps on them.

Back in late July our Tropic White Guava started to bloom ( Blooms July 29 ) ( Unopened blooms July 11 ). The fruit are now about an inch long.

My co-worker Ed gave me this carnation, because it didn’t look like it would survive in our office. I planted it in the garden and it’s blooming again.
