The story behind this pictue.
I was on our deck taking shots of birds feeding and even with my 70-300 lens I have to do some heavy croping in cs2. So I was standing there looking around for something closer, and here was this plant in my wifes garden that I never give much attention to, to be honest, I tend to see little color and thus think it's dead, who wants a picture of that. Well, today I learned something or rather, I should say, that photography taught me something. To pay more attention to the little things around us and to see the beauty in things that we normally give a quick glance too and pass by.

I have a dear friend that is fond of saying: it's a sad, sad day when you don't learn something new.
Yup, I learned something today. Thank you photography!

A lovely detailed image. I agree with your friend, learning keeps the mind and the photography vibrant and alive.

Jonathan, I know exactly what you're saying. I learned the same lesson a couple years ago during a very slow time on the Wildlife Refuge. It's a amazing how much beauty is all around us when we really stop to look.
Super capture. I love the colors and simplicity.
