The real voyage of discovery consists of not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.
- Marcel Proust
On the Sunday trip along ECR, our field of Macro treasures invited us. Loaded with the 100mm F2.8 macro lens, I was scouting the area for possible subjects.
These little flowers attracted my attention. And I sat down to click them. As I started shooting some, I noticed through my view finder, that the stem of one of the bunches was slightly thicker than the others.
I changed my POV and focused on that stem, where this flower bunch was joyfully inviting me. I was delighted to meet this grasshopper perched near the flowers. At that moment I realized that while we continually search for what we seek, sometimes hidden beauties appear in front of our eyes in a mysterious way. It is for us to accept it and embrace it with an open and warm heart.
The joy of discovering this beauty was immense and I clicked a few nice shots. Here is one of the best.
I dedicate this image to my Lakshmi, whom I discovered in a manner very similar to the story mentioned above.
