Default Watch where you are stepping!

No, I am not warning about potential dog poop.......it's all of that stained glass under your feet....another one of nature's marvelous things to behold. These were all picked up off of the ground...fell in the last day or so

Still trying to catch my breath, Patrick! What a great departure from flower macros! These are amazing! The detail is mind-boggling! My favorite is the last one with the subtle orange in the lower left that you have to really look for, and with a great payoff! Although the blood red really appeals to my darker side...

I have to admit, though, that I DID prepare myself for what "smelled" ahead! Thanks for sharing!!

Jim

These are awesome Patrick! I can feel the texture in the first one, & the others are just so crisp. Gorgeous.

The color and detail in your shots are stunning. It's amazing what beauty we miss when rushing through our days.
