Hatfield’s pretty boring (ask anyone), but we often ignore just how much beautiful nature surrounds us in our busy little town.

Trying out my macro lens (a gift from my nana – thanks nana), I got a few lovely shots of some ants and other critters minding their own business.

  • Ants crawling up a red leaf surrounded by little green bugs
  • Ants crawling up a red leaf as the diffused sky behind it faded in the sunset
  • A blurred fly gripping the side of an unripened, green blackberry
  • A ripe blackberry in-focus in front of a mixture of green and red blackberries yet to ripen
  • A light cobweb cast across a dark, natural background
  • A tiny spider hiding under a very bright green-yellow bunch of leaves
  • An ant hanging upside-down underneath a red-green leaf

i hope that when i leave this stage, i carry with me all that i’ve experienced and learned.

philly, you have been…
