Today's Quick Post: Get Closer!
My main picture today is one of those cool lessons you discover about macro photography. This dead fern frond is something most wouldn't notice. Why? It's dead. Furthermore, the color conditions us to ignore it because we've learned that brown plants = dead = boring. But if you get close to a dead plant, you'll often be greeted by a surprise like this one: new and interesting detail that you've never noticed before!

Macro photography has taught me that even the most supposedly boring subjects can actually be extremely interesting and memorable! I now make sure to study all parts of a plant--both live and dead--because you never know what fantastic surprises lay in wait! :)

Today's Pictures
I'm featuring the other fern pictures I processed from my walk around the edge of Eel Lake at William Tugman State Park. I've also included a wonderful dead leaf with dramatic coloring and an interesting shape which I couldn't resist. :)

I hope you are all doing great and have a lovely weekend in store!

Explored on 2/20/21; highest placement #2.

Grandiose series, Janet!
The main image as well as the fifth inset (dead leaf with distinctive coloring etc)
also have a particular fascination for me.

Looking this time I see this as musical notes! Very cool - and totally agree about looking close at even dead plants to find beauty.
