I didn’t even notice this little guy until I saw him through the lens. I’ve walked past this plant a dozen times, but on this day, I happened to have my camera and was shooting random things for the fun of it.
I saw something, this little detail against the green backdrop of leaves, jump out once I changed my perspective. How many times could we benefit from a change of perspective — viewing something ordinary we take for granted or don’t see at all, and look with a new lens, a different point of view. Who knows what we’ll see.
Great photo. There is so much to see and there is a lot we don’t see, mainly because we’re not looking, aren’t trained or experienced, or we are distracted. It’s a wonderful world we have, I just need to slow down and take it in. Have a wonderful Friday, Peace.
Same to you Clay! I’ve been enjoying the weekly photo challenge as a way to look through that lens — and slow down a bit.
It’s important but so hard to change perspective sometimes. It can come as a slap in the face or as subtle as the grasshopper!
Exactly!
I must say that the WP challenges have encouraged me to see things differently through my lens, especially those details easily missed in the busyness of life. Thanks for sharing your ‘little guy’ with us 🙂
I know! When I started I just scrolled through my pictures looking for something that matched, but more and more, I go out with the camera trying to capture the extraordinary in the ordinary. Cheers!
