A couple selections might be a stretch. I was swamped this week & didn’t get as many pictures as maybe I could have. Also, it got COLD this week. It didn’t make me excited to get out. Then again – at least it didn’t snow here!
1. Macro/Close-up
Green little vaulter, in the sunny grass, Catching your heart up at the feel of June, Sole noise that’s heard amidst the lazy noon, When ev’n the bees lag at the summoning brass.

Tell: It’s what we use to cover our little imperfections. Makeup. I wanted to do something different than a dead on shot – enter my trusty mirror & the reflection. Ordinary objects take on new life.
5. The Tree
For a tree to become tall it must grow tough roots among the rocks. ~Friedrich Nietzsche

A Simple Thing:
One of our prompts this week was “The Tree.” It was the one above all the others that spoke to me. I love getting trees caught in the lens of my camera. Every shot is different in so many ways. Today’s simple thing is a shot of our tree in the front yard that has some moss growing on it’s north face. I got a good close up shot of the bark. Textural, abstract.
