Penning Photography Daily

Some grass gone to seed.

Even the most common of things becomes interesting when viewed up close.

I love the tiny feelers, sprouting from the seeds. I suppose they are to help spread the seeds on the wind. To me, they’re fascinating examples of nature at work. So delicate and fine, purposeful and deliberate.

The wind blows these quite a bit, so it was hard to get a still photograph of them. I had my pocket wonder, the Panasonic LX3, at the ready, macro mode on. It was just a matter of me being patient. Standing still until the right moment of stillness occurred, and then gently squeezing the shutter.

Beauty captured in the stillness of the moment.
