Calling all photographers who take photos with non-traditional cameras, such as phones or tablets! Sally, at Lens and Pens by Sally, hosts a weekly challenge with rotating themes which go live on Monday. You’ll meet some amazing photographers as well as excellent writers, share your photos, learn, and just have lots of fun. The theme for the second Monday of the month is “Macro“, one of my favorites.
I’m happy to be back walking in the park, at least on those mornings I don’t have to leave for work early. This morning was, as you can tell, we,t and I made the mistake of going off the path that, while not paved, is firm and beaten down. Instead, I choose the grass path, but as the grass was short, I thought I would be fine. In less than 25 yards, my shoes and socks were soaked, but I was so taken with being outside and with the bits of green that were showing that I didn’t mind. I did, however, take my wet, muddy shoes off before and bag them in a plastic grocery bag before getting into my rather clean van.
Great to see the green coming through again.
You’re so right, Steve. It’s wonderful.

Janet, it was worth it, isn’t it? And thanks for sharing with us.
Having winter makes spring all the more special, Lucile. I’m pleased you enjoyed the photo and hope your week’s off to a great start.

Indeed, Janet. This winter has been so long. Thank you so much and the same for you.

Janet, thanks for the early morning testament that Spring is here. The dewy green is a perfect path to nature’s revival of the landscape. Happy Photo Challenge.
Definitely my pleasure, Sally. We’re getting rain this morning, badly needed, but keeping me from my walk. 🙂

Lovely sparkling leaves 🙂
It was good to have them sparkling with rain rather than frost, Paula. 🙂

You’ve captured the freshness and droplets so beautifully. The greenness looks so alive!
Thanks, Nadine. All the grass is green now, which pushes my spirits upward every day. I’m enjoying each bit of life coming alive again.

Beautiful sign of spring and well worth the wet socks. 🙂
It was, Judy, and I got some other photos as well. Thankfully it wasn’t very cold or my feet might have been miserable.

Great photo though, worth getting wet feet for. Love it.
I’m glad, Raewyn. I enjoyed the walk despite my wet shoes, socks, and feet. 🙂 It’s just so good to be back outdoors!

Gorgeous composition, Janet. A wonderful macro.
Thanks so much, Angeline! Always nice to know I hit a home run. 🙂
Amazing shot. Love the details in this photo. Macro photography is my weakness because I can be very impatient, but because of Sally’s challenge, I got inspired to try it out.
Welcome to the challenge. I love macro, too. I’m amazed at what good photos you can get using a phone camera. You’ll enjoy the challenge and macro.

Wet and muddy music to my dry ears! Beautiful provocative image!
Thanks very much, Carol.

Spring is coming to you as well!
And coming at breakneck speed!

Too fast sometimes – just like our summer.
