2017 has proved to be a bit of a watershed for me photographically.

I have taken more shots than ever before, spent time learning about photography and my cameras, and for the first time have actively composed shots, rather than just pressing the shutter and hoping for the best.

I have also learned that seeing the world through a camera lens brings me closer to understanding and engaging with the natural environment.

So my choice of most meaningful shot for this week’s Daily Post challenge is less about my development as a photographer than a reminder of the fragile beauty of the natural world outside my door.

  1. Isn’t it strange, how looking through a lens can bring you closer to nature, at least sometimes? Counterintuitive — always remembering that looking (with attention) through our eyeballs can do the same. Such a powerful photograph.
