  • dinghysailor1 replied

    teehee for your ears only…whisper whisper…. lol…..

  • dinghysailor1 replied

    and laughing here… a lot of luck dodging to a sunny patch in the garden and a bit of help from a green light on macro setting of my compact nikon which i’d never noticed before (it goes red white and green for go when you get the perfect length) ..and it was propped and self timed so i didnt shuggle it….. but it did surprise me how well it came out!
