Arranged only three weeks ago, the pretty riverside wild flowers and berries were softly colouring the last days of summer in the warmth of central France.There's a distinctly Autumnal feel this morning on the South Coast here in U.K. - this seems a world away now.
Venus Comb Shell. So called because the god Venus supposedly used it to comb her hair. These ancient people will believe anything :-)

Macro uploaded for alphabet challenge of 2014. Used my x-e1 with macro lens rather than the dslr. Touch of lens flare. Never mind.

Sometimes it's the smallest details that make you happy. Small details that lift up your heart. If you have ever been in love or loved or experienced your dreams come true, you know what I mean.
It is the small touches, kisses, breezes, smells, words, sounds and sights that come to mind first without trying.
This is my ode to small things.
I had a fabulous day with the ones I love and this small thing was part of it.

Since taking a class in macro offered by Kathy Eyster at the Kanuga Photography Retreat several years ago, I've wanted a light table. That desire's been on my mind rather frequently of late.
While on my walk early this morning the thought crossed my mind that my deck has a glass top. Two flashlights and a piece of copy paper later I was in business. I need to perfect my system, but I derived real pleasure playing with this snail shell (about an inch long) Tal found over the weekend while workiing in a flower bed.
