Up close and personal

Had a lovely evening tonight, with Sandie hosting one of Jo's Stampin Up parties. Jo was a total pro and we even had a fun little make and take of the fun little package she's wielding in this pic! Took a few snaps of all the girls, but was made to swear not to share on here! I'll do a page tho' and post that instead! Mwah haha!

Martha also came along (and played in the garden!) and while we were preparing for Jo's arrival I busied myself taking a few snaps of her ladyship! (Martha that is... not Jo!) Ironically this outtake was my favourite... I had my 10-20mm ultra wide lens on and was up close hoping for a few fun shots, but Martha decided I wasn't quite close enough and though the lens could do with a wash! A perfect example of why you need a UV filter protecting you lens!
