They asked us not to photograph the grad with the President

 He made it part way through the ceremony

Practice with close-up filters

So I went outside to just have a little practice with

close-up filters rated +2 and +4. 

I didn't have my tripod to steady the camera 

and am getting too old to hold it still 

but the wind was blowing the flowers 

so it wouldn't have made much difference.

Here is what I got.

I hope you enjoyed them. They are what I like to call 

God's gift of love to us. Beautiful things of nature.
