“It’s the little things that make life wonderful.” – unknown
Around my garden and backyard there are little things that I may have taken for granted. But with a different focus on the subject, it makes me look at it from a different perspective. Take for example the rusting lock of the garden shed…or the little figurine near the garden soil …or the withered flower …or the ant meeting up with another ant… UP close, using a close up lens and seeing the minute details of the object, I get to appreciate it more.

Great closeups Teresa, very artistic
Oh I tried my best. I was looking at the prompt and looked at my lenses and just shook my head haha. Thanks anyway Ali, you’re so kind.
There are so many challenges ..I need to get more active
It is exciting but you’re right, sometimes it gets rather daunting.
Haha I know ..I don’t want to post too often ..I try to do two in one and I’m running out of photos and I feel pretty sure I’ve posted some a few times
Haha nevermind. All of us are in the same boat as we all cannot travel. But it needs some sort of creativity to be able to post two or even three challenges in one go, right?
Thanks 🙂
Well worth getting up close to inspect these.
That is true, Margaret. You have to get down and dirty too.
These are great close ups, Teresa. Especially like the cherub and the withered flowers 🙂 🙂
Thanks Jo. Had to look at things that I didn’t look at before.
If I have to pick a favourite it is that intrepid ant but they are all beautiful photographs.
Thanks so much. The full photo has another ant 🐜 🐜 but I just can’t fit it on a square.
I like these. I struggle with close ups. I like the shot of the ant. They are fun to watch sometimes. They are amazing workers.
Yes, I know and they walk fast , it was so hard to catch them Haha
stunning photography
Thanks so much Becky. ❤️
I love these close-up details, and the quote about shooting what it feels like 🙂
Thanks for liking them, Sarah.
Great work Teresa! I love the textures you’ve captured in your images, especially the old lock. The flowers look as if they were inviting you to take their pictures.
Thanks Anne for your nice comment. ❤️
Some beautiful examples Teresa, I’m so glad I clicked on the images as they aren’t really done justice in the grid format. Loved your featured photo and the clock/timer/lock????
Thanks for that Tina, I was pretty undecided which to put as a featured photo. And that is a shed lock that is rusting away.
great close ups T! happy Sunday 🙂
Thanks and to you too!
Beautiful! You’ve done a wonderful job with a narrow depth of field.
Thanks, experimenting a bit.
I like all of these. Well done.
