Blackberry Blossoms

The entire half mile of our hedgerow is covered with white blackberry blossoms. It won't be long before we will be able to eat berries as we walk to the mailbox. Summer is almost here.
Today my husband surprised me with an enormous gift. He came home with the exact macro lens that I have been eyeing. I was able to capture a credible dandelion puff on my first out of the box test (see extras) but there is clearly a learning curve. The exposure seems much brighter and there is a button that I am not familiar with (full-00-0.5m.) Lots of homework to do.
