Spring on the Chaparral





















To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.

~ From Auguries of Innocence, William Blake

  4. Hi Owen,

    Nope, no macro lens. Just the 58mm and some actually with the telephoto just for experimentation purposes that worked out.

    Just got back here from your blog and enjoyed tagging along from afar. It's so cool you guys got together for the Erwitt outing. I'm sure you all left charged up, inspired, and at one with the universe.

  5. Wow, what beauty. These seem so real that I'm sneezing just looking at them. ;)

    Those droplets are just stunning. I feel like I could lost in one just by touching it... hmm, now there's an idea for a story to file away for later.

    Thanks for letting us tag-a-long on your walk. :)
