the beauty of macro sunday

seaweed that washed a block up after hurricane irene... and i do not live on ocean avenue by the beach... i live on a bay that is fed by the ocean... 

lori at studiowaterstone had the idea of macro sunday... which interprets in to increased mindfulness... one pays attention a bit more to their surroundings... becomes more engaged by the detail that makes up our lives (when life can so easily distract)... 


and this happens to be a week of a few macro shots that i love... 


buddhas (mine) by barbara bechtel of secondsurf

a robin's nest that i found on my walk this morning and brought home... 

'few are those that see with their own eyes
and feel with their own hearts.'
~ albert einstein

thank you lori, for keeping us on our toes...

    Nice find. Looks like the last photo is from an old bed where the coil is rusted and tangled together ^_^ Thanks for sharing.

    Oh, I adore all three of your macro shots! What's not to love about some stray seaweed, beady Buddhas, and a neat nest? You really captured these well!
