I have to admit that I am strange. While I love taking photos of flowers, trees and your normal nature shots, the things that catch my eye are fallen leaves, rocks and anything else I find interesting lying on the ground. Does this mean I'm grounded? :)
Seriously though, while at the beach a couple of days ago I was snapping away at the waves, like normal people when I stumbled across the first photo and I just got so excited to see that rock with it's shadow laying on the ground. Why? I have no idea but out of all the photos I took that day this was one of my favorites - a rock lying in the sand.
A day earlier I was walking in my favorite gardens snapping away at flowers and trees, like normal people, when I spotted dried/dead leaves that had dropped from a tree onto the ground with a puddle of water over them. Again, I was mesmerized by these leaves. Again, I have no idea why. I may need to see a therapist.
These are my two questions for you this week.
1. Whether you are a photographer or not, what is it that catches your eye when you are out and about?
2. Are you fascinated by out of the ordinary things?

2. yes, i do, the desert is always regarded by many as wasteland, but somehow, i find it so deep in beauty.
2) I'm captivated by ordinary things or things that often don't scream out for attention.
Your photos are beautiful!
From looking at photos on other blogs it seems that those with an interest in macro photography seem to look beyond the ordinary. We tend to look for the little things in the bigger picture more so than others I think.
Judy, awwww thanks for the inspiring words.
Andrea, you may be right about that rock. I should have taken it home :)
Squirrel, I think you are right. Though I do take regular shots, my mind is always thinking macro so I see the tiniest of wonders.
Everything captures my eye. The shape of a cloud to ants trying to move a huge piece of crumb :) I watched them do this for about 20 minutes yesterday :)
Aloha.
