Sitting outside pondering my woes, I noticed this furry guy under the chair. From my position in the other chair, he looked dead. I thought this would make for a perfect macro shot so I went in to get my camera. When I returned, he had moved.
Down on my stomach I started setting up for the shot. He stayed curled up tight for a long time. Patiently I waited. He finally opened up and took a few tentative steps. {snap, snap, snap} Back into a ball he retreated, his safe space, waiting until he felt it was alright to come out again.
While I waited, I changed settings and half pressed the shutter. I wanted to be ready.
It took awhile but he finally opened up. What I saw shocked me. He was shivering, like a small dog does when they're nervous.
And, he had lips. LIPS.
Who would have thought? Not me, that's for sure.
How many people can say that.
"Yes Mable, I scooped it up and moved it to make better use of the light.", said no one.
I know I've said it before, but when you look at life through a macro lens, you'll be amazed at what you see.
