Ended up at Clinkerdagger's for dinner(Thank you kids for a wonderful meal).  Turns out there was three other couples there for their anniversary's too.  One couple was married the same day and year as us.  Aug 26th, 1972.

100mm Macro Lens

My new toy for my camera.  A 100mm Canon Macro lens.  it has a very small depth of field as you will see below.  It is also to be good for portrait photo - so time will tell.
