macro lens helps
an intricate world of detail
I wonder if this is what is meant (in the title of the book) Mycelium Running
it appears to be going from the stick to the leaf
(thank goodness for the decomposers of our world)
don't you want to touch it ;-)
soft little moss sculpture
like something from manicured garden
a magical threshold
to a underworld home
snow is melting
meadows that will later be grasslands
are now shallow lakes
I saw my first butterfly
of the year
it really is heartwarming to note the small details
of a new season
indeed, nature is a spirit helper

lovely days and nights to you

You are so welcome.
DeleteNice! I have never seen the lichen in the first shot. The entrance to the underworld home is stunning. Our snow is gone, but the cold air isn't.
ReplyDeleteNew to me too. It has always been around, I just finally took the time to notice and spend time with it.
DeleteI love that home entrance too. Imagine if we did our home doors like that!
Your macro work is nothing short of outstanding. There is a whole world down there we don’t readily see. Reminds of when I first looked at plant cells through a microscope - such a revelation.
ReplyDeleteThank you for enjoying my macro work! It really takes loving effort since I hand hold the camera. Plenty of deleting goes on for me ;-)
DeleteI love moss, I always want to touch it! What pretty photos...and you have a butterfly, how lucky! :)
ReplyDeleteThere is something about moss that makes us want to touch it.
DeleteYes, I was thrilled to see a few butterflies that day.
I haven't seen your blog for awhile. I had forgotten how stunning your photos are. Thank you for sharing.

Interesting pictures, Tammie Lee. Isn't nature fascinating? Love that little butterfly. They always seem to flutter away before I can get a good picture. It looks like everything is thawing out and Spring is arriving there. : )
ReplyDeleteEnjoy these days!

Dear Tammie - You’ve made me realize that lichen is mysteriously fascinating. And the changing landscape, too. It’s so exciting to imagine the great transformation from shallow lakes to grasslands.
