Since no one has jumped on this one, I guess I'll kick it off...

Shot in the backyard today with my Sigma 24mm f/1.8 DG Macro

OK I'm new to this so how many photos are you allowed to submit for small theme for March?....and I have tried with no success to submit photos. I can do url's, but photos seem to not come out. How about a step by step.

Shirley: Use the img tag like this...

{img}http://www.yourphotodomain.com/yourimage.jpg{/img}

and replace the { and } with [ and ]

Roz: Those are cool! Love the butterfly.. the DOF makes the eyes blurry on the green dragonfly, though.. and the blue one is great.

Here's one I took a while ago, but I thought could be shoe-horned into this theme. I know...I'm kinda twisted.

I think Stevil beat me to it with this style of shot but this is what I had in mind when I saw "Let's Get Small" as the assingment.

...since we're answering silly questions, what the difference between "attached" pictures and ones with URL links? How do you attach a picture?

attachments are on the post menu... scroll down a little and you'll see a button that says "manage attachments" or something like that... should make sense once you start to do it... just remember that they have to be shrunk down below a certain dimension and file size.

Just a few macro shots. I don't know if they really fit this thread, but I wanted to give it a try.

I'll participate as soon as I can get out to shoot. There is absolutely nothing exciting in my yard yet.
