Fisherman's Memorial

One of the only memorials to a non-military non-first responder worker I have seen in the US.

I enjoyed using my new macro lens to get more of a glimpse into the life of bugs. Here it's just evidence of their hard work to get to the food inside this acorn.

Peeling bark

I took my macro lens out for a spin at a nearby botanical garden and was impressed with the results. I've never seen a paper bark variety of a maple. Very cool!
