Summer Macro

Cicada Exoskeleton – Lambton Shores, Ontario

This year my macro lens definitely has had a workout. I have been really enjoying taking an intimate up close look at nature this season. Everyday plants, bugs, reptiles, and seeds can look so different close up. Most of these images are taken within a short walk to my home. The pandemic really taught me to find beauty in the everyday.
