I loved these photos! You sure get close to your subject.
Thank you, Dionne, so glad you enjoyed them. It’s always fascinated me how things take on an entirely different nature when you get really close to them – a bit like people 🙂
These are lovely, Trish. And, just as there are times words need to stand up for themselves, there are times when pictures need to be unencumbered by the chatter of writing.
Thank you, Jo, you put that beautifully.
“…things take on an entirely different nature when you get really close to them – a bit like people” So true. Lovely photos!
Lovely to see you, Miriam, thank you. Yes, not just nature we need to get closer to, but each other, for better understanding.
Trish, wow!!!!! Love these photos so much.
Glad you came to see them, Denyse, thanks, I hope they put a little sunshine into your day 🙂
Absolutely gorgeous. I love them.
