    A very nice variety of macro shots. I really liked the water droplets, and the shroom shots. Nice job. :)

    I ALWAYS like close, close shots of water drops . . . bright, shiny little crystal globes!

  9. Yes. Macro. It causes us to 'see' the world in ways we otherwise would/ could not.

    YEARS ago I took a drawing course which required me to visualize flowers, trees, cooking pots - by climbing in and out among the surfaces.

    I 'saw' like I'd never seen before.

    That's what your pictures do for me.

    JR, thanks, I love macros!

    Cathy, thanks, I know just what you mean. I took a painting class too, years ago, wherein our first task was to paint a tiny section of a cluttered still life...just to learn to look. It changed how I looked at things.
