Weekly Photo Challenge, “Zoom In”
the subject from Jerjonji is:
“zOOm In”
Sometimes we don’t see the trees for the forest. It’s good to “zoom in” for a closer look which can enhance your day physically, emotionally, spiritually and photographically. Because of hurried/harried lives Zooming in to what is around us, but usually gone unseen, may be what the doctor ordered to give us balance on our tightrope of life.
Some of my photos
This is a small portion of the forest, my sister’s yard after a long Winter. The growing areas surround her home on all four sides and it contains large trees, an area for vegetables, a small running creek branch in the back, bee hives and lots of flowers. It takes a lot of work to get it into shape after a Winter of snow, ice, wind and downed branches.
And the ZOOM’S are the trees. This is Grape Hyacinth popping up for Spring.
And Vinca with its showy faces of purple
And Pussy Willow
And Miniature Dafodills with an Angel escort
And a cat pretending it’s a flower
And a prayer blessing the growth in this Spring wonderland to be.
Summer will show off its floral growth as well. Its flowers in my sister’s yard will be a new assortment I am waiting to “zOOm In” on for some future challenge.
Due to cruel and unusual circumstances I was late with the challenge this week but due to those same circumstances I was able to take the photos I have displayed. It’s a great life.
Keep on taking those photos,

Well, you have a positive attitude to your recent bad time and some cheerful pictures to post to boot!
You’re very right about taking time to see what’s around us, I find myself happily surprised any number of times to find a good detail shot unexpectedly. Another Xangan said in her blog that photography is meditation and I like that thought.
Glad to see you back and posting so soon.
Oh dear, I hope everthing is alright with you now.
Beautiful spring time photos!
hope all is well with you now.
Love the photos,
RYC:: the white Dog Willie is my baby he has so many faces he speeks volumes with his faces!

Hey, excellent photos! And good words, too! Great pose for that cat photo, looks like a cat’s version of Tai Chi.
As the others said, I hope things are improving for you.
Thank you for your comments on my photo, by the way.
I hope everything is ok. Nice shots, by the way. I really like the ones of the vinca.
