Diane takes photos on her daily walks of the simplest of things like grass, leaves, spider web, old button, bent nail, etc. or even just a part of those things, but it makes you really look at them. Even if you're out for a walk stop every so often and cup your hands around your eyes so that you block out the larger picture and frame a smaller part. A whole landscape looks so different when you see it bit by bit. Some of the photo blogs, such as http://www.dianevarner.com, do this to perfection.

I can't tell you how many times I've driven to work (20 miles) and been in such a daze I don't remember how I got there. Scary for several reasons. Today, I'm going to make a point to stop and notice the details. So true! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve driven to work (20 miles) and been in such a daze I don’t remember how I got there. Scary for several reasons.
Today, I’m going to make a point to stop and notice the details.

There's nothing like the wonder of a 3 year old!
