Summer.
There are certain moments in this season that take your breath away. The sheer simplicity of a vision like this in the early morning is one such moment. I walk in the early hours of the day, when the light is so beautiful it is sometimes hard to believe it is real. I used to walk with headphones but now I try to soak it all in; to enjoy the sound of the birds and the breeze.
The other day I brought my camera to help me focus in on the details. These berries embody the way the morning felt – one so ripe and slightly damaged, the other still maturing on the vine. All that lush greenery around them was the perfect backdrop.
Sometimes there are great rewards in living in the macro for a minute or two.
Gives perspective to the rest of the day.
Very out of the basement, indeed.
i could cry but i don't have time 
ah the simple pleasures of a beautiful summer’s morning * yes, it is a wonderful way to start the day .. with a smile
This is exactly the reason I have started carrying my camera everywhere. Such a beautiful picture!
