Thankyou Brian – Just don’t let anyone know – all of them originally taken with my cell phone. (Samsung 7) I might do a little print test to see what they look like as enlargements.

The cameras in these phones nowadays are incredible, I’ve seen butterfly images you would think have been taken with a macro lens!

Totally agree! In fact, just the other day, we came across some newly sprouted Crocuses with all these bees dipping in and out. I took my cell, got as close as possible and pretty happy with some of the images – one of them with 2 bees on the same flower. Good for a future post!
But cell phones are bad for zoom and lean toward wide angle which is cool for scenic shots, but not for people closeups etc.

You know, some people might look at this and see rocks and sand.
This is art, My wife has always wanted to travel to Vancouver. I shared these with her. She loved them too.
Thanks for sharing these.

Thanks so much Andrew! I love art, but cannot draw or paint and don’t have the patience – but I have a sense of composition – so I enjoy bringing that to my images. Editing software allows me so much creative latitude. Btw – Give me a “heads up” if you and wife ever plan to visit Vancouver – meet for coffee!
