Playing with my camera: Up close

I recently was given a set of "screw in close up (macro) lenses." When Linda and I have gone to photography day at Living History Farms, we've run into the same guy showing how to take those really close up photos. He taught us how to take them with our point and shoots two years ago. This past year, he told us about these lenses that are sort of like reading glasses for the camera; they screw onto the threads at the front of our other lenses (unlike reading glasses) to provide more magnification of the subject. Of course, with these new toys, I went around taking new shots of some of the things around my house and Linda's.
