Last weekend I had a chance to brush up my rusted skills in macro photography with interesting subjects in our daughter’s garden up in the North Thompson River valley. A touch of a breeze seemed to often come at just ‘that’ moment so only a few photos worked out well. I should have packed along the tripod.

All the same, these are quite delightful pictures; a magical display of both strength and fragility.
Tom, well said, thank you!
Tom has encapsulated it.
Olga, I agree!
Love these gossamers!
Marly, we agree on that!
Absolutely lovely. What more can I say?
Thanks, Hattie! I’m pleased these ones worked out.
Yep, Tom’s comment gets my vote too. They really are quite stunningly beautiful, aren’t they? It’s funny that we can walk past or over such marvels of nature, but only really see when an artist draws our attention to the miracle.
Susan, taking the camera out with me, especially the macro, really helps me to look closer. The environment in the Thompson River valley is so different from Vancouver that I become excited by sights of ‘new’ things. I meant to also take lots of regular scenic shots on the trip – such as the hoodoos in the Okanagan, who knew!! But there wasn’t the time for that we were very focused on friends we had not seen in a long time, as well as our seriously ill friend.
“Strength and fragility” … Tom provided the perfect caption for your exquisite shots. It’s good that you were there to support your ill friend. These also are times when strength and fragility intersect.
Yes, Tom’s comment should have been the title for this post! 🙂 And how perceptive of you to connect it with our visit to our friend. We continue to be in touch with his daughter.
