I Heart Macro - Poolside

As part of Michael's birthday present we signed him up for a PADI Seal Team class - a scuba class for 8+ year olds taught by a certified dive instructor in a pool.  Kids can't get officially certified to scuba until they're 10, so this is a way for interested kids to try it out.  The class was today and Michael loved it!

While I was hovering near by, camera in hand, as is required of 21st century mothers, I got a close up shot of the lane blocks.  I love the bumpy lines, and the "toy camera" filter in Aperture made the colors deeper and made it more macro-ish.
