Down the Port with the SMC Super Macro Takumar 50mm

****REPOSTED WITH PERMISSION. IF YOU ENJOY THIS, VISIT THE LONELY RUIN ON WORDPRESS****. I’ll admit that I’ve never been a photographic specialist. I’m not into landscapes or portraits or macros, as much as I’m just into photography in general.

When the world calls…

Appreciate the small things

What a beautiful day in Adelaide today. We are out and about running errands, but honestly, who could resist tipping their hat to this delightful day.
