Macro Snowflakes & Other Wintry Shots

This winter is working hard to make up for the past several snowless ones. We just got snow again yesterday, and this time I went out to capture individual snowflakes with my macro lens. I hope you enjoy the results of my cold photoshoot, plus another batch of unpublished snow pictures from an earlier storm.

Dewy Garden in Macro

My garden is soldiering on despite constant attacks from deer, groundhogs, rabbits, and slugs. I’m doing my best to help it along and surprisingly, the plants are still growing! I went out to do some weeding one morning, found each leaf dripping with perfect dewdrops, and immediately went back inside for my camera.

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know how much I love photographing tiny waterdrops. I used my macro lens (aff. link) this time for extra refreshing sparkly goodness. Enjoy!

The First Signs of Spring

Hello friends!

I have a lush little photoshoot to share with you today. I know it’s only the beginning of February, but I’m already excited for spring. I’ve spotted a bunch of daffodil spears poking up around my yard as well as lots of weed flowers sprinkling the grass.

At this point in the year, most of the signs of spring are tiny and easily missed, so I decided to capture them with my favorite macro extension tubes (aff. link). Enjoy this macro nature photography!

Crystal Frost {a Photoshoot}

Hello friends!

I’m back with a nature photoshoot after a short Thanksgiving break. I hope your holidays were great! Mine were a lot of fun but quite jam-packed. Four different Thanksgiving dinners filled me right up. :O

Anyway, I took advantage of the recent frosty weather to play around with my macro lens (aff. link). It’s amazing what beautiful details you can find in an ordinary town yard with a close-up camera and some focused observation.

Enjoy these shots of some beautiful ice crystals!

Woodland Treasures {A Forest Photoshoot}

Hello friends!

One of my favorite places to take my camera is into the woods. Even in winter there are so many beautiful things to discover, from the tiniest moss florets to the tallest tangled trees. I had so much fun photographing bits of beauty a few weeks ago and wanted to share some with you today.

Enjoy a pretty dose of natural wonders. ❤

Photographing My Yard

Hello friends!

I don’t have quite the same photo opportunities now that I live in the town rather than on a farm – no fields surrounding my house or woods and creeks to explore nearby. But if you’ve been following me for a while, you know I’m a firm believer that you can find beauty anywhere. So the other day I decided to take some pictures in my little yard after a rain shower to see if I could capture some pretty nature in our corner of the neighborhood.

Enjoy these peaceful pictures!
