Welcome to Week Eighty-One
I Heart Macro
"Pure
awareness transcends thinking... It allows you to look at the world once again
with open eyes. And when you do so, a sense of wonder and quiet contentment
begins to reappear in your life."~Mark Williams and Danny Pennman, from Mindfulness An
Eight-Week Plan For Finding Peace In A Frantic World
It is time for YOU to share the love up-close with YOUR
I Heart Macro offerings!
Enjoy slowing down with your camera, paying full attention, observing beauty and curiosities many people pass right by. Your generosity of spirit and keen eyes may open the door to miniscule miracles and mirth others would not have access to otherwise. Feel free to include poetry, prose and thoughts your macro photo or series inspire(s) in you. Writing is completely optional for participation. Straight out of the camera (SOC), edited, color, black and white; anything goes as long as you bring the viewer near to whatever it is that drew your heart's attention and "woke you up" to full presence.

S p r e a d the LOVE. Thanks :-)
For more macro's I hope you will view my little movie that can be found here with all the beautiful words of thanks from this year's Gratitude Quilt 2014.

Hi Laura, I'm not sure why I missed this as I had my photo already to share but must have forgotten to add it. So sorry! I have one ready for the next though. These icicles are exquisite, the light shining through them is magical!
