It’s easy to go about any given day and not pay attention to the wonders that surround us. Like the “small print” at the end of a document, Gaia has filled the planet with things easily ignored, left in the shade of more visible content that grabs our attention. Go on, go into your backyard, kneel down and see the world from “their” point of view - and prepare to be captivated by a new world.

And for any photo people out there wondering if they should shell out a bit of hard earned cash for a decent macro lens - I can’t speak highly enough of my new Sigma 105mm f/2.8 DG EX. You’ll be hard pressed to find a macro, at or around the same length as this one, that’ll give you more bang for the buck.

For a few more shots(and I mean few - I’ve only had the lens for a few days...) check out my new macro gallery.
