Wow amazing photos, isn't nature amazing!
So true! Thank you for the visuals...and the reminder to slow down and really look. ;)
Thanks for this brilliant link - I suddenly feel clumsy and unrefined!
Not to worry Jennifer, half those organisms are swimming inside US! So you always walk in beauty.
We can't compete with Nature in our art, but we can be inspired and strive for the same clairity and specificity in our work.
I was fortunate to see some of last year's images at an exhibit earlier this year... even more amazing as huge format prints! Thanks for the reminder of the beauty that swims inside all of us...
