Showers overnight and this morning gave way to sunnier skies, and after I walked, fast and camera-less, I grabbed the 85mm micro and hiked into the backwoods in search of... well, anything. The natural world at this time of year is grudging with revelations, but one of the great things about having macro capability is that I can always find something, however commonplace, that makes for good observations and images. This afternoon, the local moss was verdant and obliging. The captured water droplet was a kind of crystal ball, but I couldn't figure out what message it offered about the future.
