Take a Break From the Big Picture

In photography we tend to concentrate on the big picture, the grand landscape, and charismatic megafauna. In life at this time of year we are focused on the number and size of presents. Take 30 seconds to watch one of God's little creatures. Say thank you to the harried clerk, look for the twinkle in the eye of a child, and remember how this all started.

August Green

I spent a hot, humid morning photographing these guys one morning this week.  I love their facial expression.  Green, heat, and humidity will soon be a memory, bring on autumn!  Technical: 180 Macro, f/3.5, 1/200 sec., ISO 640
