My Blog primarily consists of close-up nature photos (that I've taken locally) combined with original holistic-truth oriented prose and/or poetry involving mindfulness/awareness. I love nature and I love understanding the whole (not merely the parts and the details). I'm a retired teacher of the multiply handicapped.
I have a number of interesting hobbies, such as fossil collecting, sport-kite flying, 3D and 2D close-up photography, holography, and pets. Most of all, I am into holistic self-awareness, spontaneous insight, unconventional observation/direct perception, mindfulness, meditation, world peace, non-fragmentation, population control, vegetarianism, and green energy.

Wow! This is a wonderfully clear photo. So much detail. And yes, something that should not be passed by 🙂
Great depth of field! Very nice
Stunning in every aspect.
It takes a concentrated effort to look closely. But there is always so much to see.
Beautiful shot.

Thanks everyone! One likes how the pistil and the stamen are all different… yet all connected as one… kind of like all life!
A great macro! I love the texture!
