NATURE...Up Close and Personal

I would like to dedicate this post to a
lovely couple I met during one of my photography excursions.
 

This one's for you Dale and Gord
 I hope it was worth the wait :)


I'm sure you've heard the expression,
"You can't see the forest for the trees"...

When you stand  next to a tree, it's just a tree...
but, stand in an open field and look at a thousand trees...
well that's a whole different thing

I enjoy dusting off my camera now and again and going out on the path near my apartment building and taking photos of nature.
I especially love macro photography because it allows me to see detail that would ordinarily be missed.

So, if you find yourself walking along a path...stop and look, truly examine what is before you, you're sure to see something spectacular.

For this post, I have created a new expression...

"You can't see life for its abundance"

For example...
How many times have you seen grass, heavy with dew,  glistening in the morning light?

Now imagine for a moment how that same dew would look if you were the same size as the grass?

I think I managed to capture it...
I had to crouch down in the grass and got a bit of dew on the camera lens, 
however, the effect actually made the photo look even more surreal.
