Looking for tiny details to photograph in nature helps me to slow down, feel peace, and enjoy the moment. It becomes a slow-moving meditation. I’m very grateful for access to nature, tiny treasures, and a cellphone that reasonably captures those beautiful details. I am considering buying a DSLR camera with a macro lens or a fancy cellphone that would allow me to do more macro photography.
May we look for the tiny treasures in our daily lives.
Peace
writing to freedom 
Awesome up close photos 👏

You have a talent for macro photography, Brad, and your poetry is the perfect complement. I love your photos and how this kind of photography makes you slow down and be in the moment. I suspect a new camera would bring you lots of joy. Have a beautiful day, my friend.

Ohhh, I love that idea, Brad! You take such gorgeous photos and enjoy it so much, I think a camera would send you to a new level
of excellence. I am considering buying a new camera, too, because I’m so dissatisfied with the iPhone camera and want to be able to frame some of my memories. Enlarging iPhone photos just doesn’t work out so well. I think it will be a nice new hobby for me, as well. Thanks for the inspiration! I love your photos and poems 😍

I just adore these photos and the poem is a delight! I, too, can see and feel the faeries dancing about. I agree with you on how meditative it can be to be in nature and to focus on all of the little beauties and miracles all around…it DOES help one slow down, be in the moment, and marvel at just how much wonder and grace there is out there. Part of why I love taking photos myself..some people think that’s not being present, and yet for me it’s extra presence when I am witnessing and honoring all the little details we take for granted – life as a walking meditation.

Just LOVE this post, Brad!! I encourage you to invest in a really good DSLR and macro lens. Good luck!!! So many companies have turned their cameras over to mirrorless. I know Nikon no longer sells DSLR’s. And yes on Mother ….. SHE is my mediation. She is my saving grace. She is my Guidance. She gives me SO much that oftentimes She leaves me speechless with emotion. I’m SO glad you are taking the time to slow down. We all need to!! Much love to you! xo
