Coffee, Cooking, and Strawberries

I've been having so much fun with the macro feature on my camera which I just discovered after owning the camera for almost 3 years now. Here are some of my experimental shots:

My new coffee cup that my friend Stacey gave me for my birthday while I was in Texas a few weeks ago.

My first attempt at Chicken Piccata from the Martha Stewart cookbook my dad and Leslie gave me last week...also a birthday present.

And, finally, a pretty little pile of strawberries that Kristina laid out for a small birthday cocktail party in mine and Paula's honor.
