The June blog circle theme at Share Six is DREAMY / DREAMS. I hope you’ll take the time to link around the full blog circle (next link at the bottom), and then submit to the Share Six Facebook and/or Instagram pages for a chance to be featured.
Macro photography feeds my soul. I passionately love looking at the world – particularly the natural world – from new and different perspectives. Although it may sound odd to some, macro photography reminds me of my snorkeling experiences, in that it leads me to observe things I simply don’t see everyday. I refer to my macro botanical work as “buds and bugs” as I also love witnessing life at the scale of insects when shooting macro.
For this themed post, I took a little time to shoot in my gardens, something I hadn’t done in recent months. As an aside, you know how when you go biking or running, you often become aware of hills you hadn’t noticed before? The same thing happens when shooting macro in nature and breezes. Those tiny breezes magnify so much. I say this to say the breezes – nay – the WIND – in recent days made several of the subjects I wanted to include unusable, for lack of focus as the plants swayed about! In any event, I love the abstract qualities and the delicious, dreamy bokeh in these images, and hope you enjoy them, too!

Macro is something I love to. I started with macro with my iPhone and a lens that attatched to that. That’s what started my journey. Now I use macro rings on my lenses but would love a macro specific lens.
Tori these are great – like you I really enjoy macro as well. In fact I was out taking water drops this weekend. I love the black and white image second from the bottom, it just captured my attention immediately.
WOW, Tori! I’m in awe of the gorgeousness in your backyard and how you so beautifully captured it. ❤ Thank you for encouraging us to open our eyes to the wonder around us.
