52 Wednesdays - 9|Fifty-Two {Close Up}

Close Up is the challenge this week for the fabulous ladies who are involved with The Bloom Forum's 52 weeks project. I'm so glad I decided on a macro lens as my latest photography investment! It is not without it's learning curve, but I don't mind practicing. It's been so much fun! When things are magnified, it just opens up my eyes to God's amazing creativity and attention to detail. It's mind-boggling to think that if He put that much effort into something this tiny, this fleeting, this seemingly unimportant little flower, then how much more does he care for me? For you?

Take a moment to notice the small things in creation. And be humbled and awed. I am.
