Wonder can’t be packaged, and it can’t be worked up. It requires some sense of being there and some sense of engagement. Eugene Peterson

Wonderful!
Monte Stevens
Thanks, Steve!
Tom Dills
What did you do, buy a macro lens? Nice work regardless!
Monte Stevens
No, too broke for that. This is the 35mm f2.0 lens and about 50% crop. Not too bad!
Monte Stevens
Oh, and handheld.
Tom Dills
Hey, that works too!

Wow: colorful and dramatic. It almost looks like some kind of strange animal or insect, but makes for quite an interesting almost abstract of a flower.
Monte Stevens
Yes, the crop gives it an abstract look and feel. And, the color pops for me. This is the jpeg file from the Velvia film simulation option on the camera. I use it a,lot for nature.

This looks very much like an underwater creature called a nudibranch! 🙂 Love the quote.

Good grief I just looked those up on Google and they do come in some beautiful colors. Found this one outside a coffeehouse.
