What a lovely way to end an evening on the forum. Moi, these are just outstanding. I just marked the first as a favorite. Thanks for sending me off the dreamland with something good to dream about. Hugs.

"Your photography is a record of your living, for anyone who really sees.”

I like your quote and your work, the first the leaf frozen in time, the second, 'how time flies', the acorn looking like a computer game creature with it's little hat but without the facial expressions, and finally a butterfly, a tropical fish, a fishing lure, no a beautiful feather, but only for anyone who really sees, good job moi

Beach.............what a great imagination you have......obvious from your photography too!
The world of macro and detail is a fascinating one,isn't it? I think that the camers really gives us a chance to notice and explore all the hidden activity around us-usually 'bottom up,camera down'. Thank you for the lovely feedback here.

These are really interesting and wonderful shots of things most people wouldn't even notice. This is a good example of taking time to notice what's in front of you.

Hi Leona. Thank you so much for the lovely comments. Thomas Hardy,novelist/poet,said that he wanted to be remembered as someone who 'noticed such things'............I definitely have a fascination for tiny details of life.

Some excellent shots.

It looks like one fly is bringing a sunshade to the other one
