Day 665: Details, Details

I added this new photograph
to Creative Journey
in my Photography section,
All In The Details

I bent down on the forest floor when I spied this bright bit of purple popping out against the green. The flower was only about the size of a quarter.

Once squatting low and trying to get the flower center in focus, I saw the spider. It's teeny. Not much bigger than a seed bead.

I spent a good five minutes scrunched down in the dirt, trying to get my camera to focus on such a tiny insect.

That amount of focused concentration is an excellent exercise for me as a way to learn to cherish the moment ... be present ... appreciate the life right before my eyes.
