I have the Canon 100mm macro is USM lens and love it! I use it for taking pictures I include in children's books. I am attaching one so you can see how good this works hand held.

Beautiful; it makes me miss Seattle where I grew up.

This is my first attempt at displaying a photo. This picture is one that is in my second children's book called Lucy Ladybug's Backyard Adventure. I thought it was awesome to see two stages of the butterfly at one time!
