More shots of little things that I have taken around wherever I was. The hand holding the nut pod is that of my mom when she was still alive, about 95-years old here. A lifetime of work, caring, love, and generosity. A great hand!

Another travel day to a rural area where my internet is at times very sketchy - or non-existent. Therefore, I am posting this Sunday morning in order to be sure this is ready to go without any breakdowns. Please post in the Sunday Challenge first!!!

A couple of weeks ago, I saw a post in a weekly challenge by PAToGraphy (I know you all know her!). It was a lovely photo of a tiny wild thing with little seeds on it. Instantly, I remembered my first days with digital when I went out of my way to take many shots of such subjects to reveal their awesome mysteries.

We’re all so busy these days, it’s easy in our journeys to pass by unaware of such beauties around us. Therefore:

Your challenge for this week is to post photos of those tiny things that have a better than average chance of passing their existences unseen. They can be animate/alive or maybe not. But strive with your shots to show us the beauty we might otherwise miss if, perhaps, we were sometimes going through life without our eyes completely open.

That's a fantastic start, Joe. I love those ropes (and I see that many other Hoggers agree). I'll search for some tiny things that are appropriate for this challenge.

This second group is just terrific, too. I love that photo of your mother's hand; it says a lot.

I have always enjoyed shooting flowers, but a couple years ago I was running across some very beautiful tiny flowers which I couldn't get close enough to. So I got a proper macro lens, a Nikon 105mm f2.8 Micro. These are some of the tiniest ones I have found. They are all at or near the closest focus and have a scale of 1-2 inches. I would see people walking right by them and not noticing how beautiful they were.


That's an outstanding selection of flowers and the colors are beautiful.

Now we're talking! Tiny critters are right up my alley. These are all under one inch long. Some are nearly microscopic!


Max, you've hit another home run with this selection of underwater creatures. Superb photography.

Love the topic, Joe. Will do my best..... I wonder how many people notice #1 and hundreds walk by it (on the path to a famed Maine Lighthouse)


Gotta love those toes, Pat.
