Day 5


Beauty found in the everyday things we pass by without so much as a second thought. This is a macro of my palm tree in my front yard. I just love the lines...they just draw you in.

Great shot. The color and lighting are awesome and you're right about being led into the picture.

Wow, this is captivating, love it!

Maggie said...

Wow, thanks for the replies. hmmm....I just might have to do this on canvas. My palm tree is only about 10 feet tall but the leaves go all the way to the ground and they're HUGE! I was walking around my front yard looking for something when I had my "aha!" moment. :)
