It's been very hot here, and I find myself very busy with all of my projects, so I don't always make the time to go wandering. But when I do, I always have an eye out for the little details. Leaf veins, lichens, mosses, and creatures. On this particular day, the 23rd of June, I was on a mission to gander as many bugs as I could. Though a little burnt from the heat, I have no regrets. It was a very fruitful excursion. I aim to make more time to go on these shoots with my Nikon, as there is so much one notices when clad with camera.
