For those yearning for a macro lens, it's the lens I use most now. Mine is an *old* manual one (no autofocus) and if you don't mind focusing by hand, it's a cheap way to get a macro. Also, the point-and-shoot cameras have pretty decent macro capabilities.

Gorgeous! Makes me really want to get a macro lens for my camera! Sadly, we hardly ever get such picturesque frosts around here :-(
Beautiful pictures! We're not so fond of that "F" word in these parts but do share your love of bamboo!
