My arm for a macro lens today

It's a lot colder now than it normally is when it snows and all of the flakes that were coming down still looked like snowflakes. My neighbor knocked on my door early asking how to get pictures (I'd already taken what I'd planned on for today) so I grabbed my shoes, camera and headed over.

Maggie, it wasn't a macro lens (film camera batteries are dead and that is the only macro lens I have)

This was with my 18-55mm kit lens as close as I could get without loosing focus.

Thanks for the comments guys.
