Today I went for a walk in along the damp streets of Seattle, looking not for a new view of the skyline with a backdrop of clouds. I had outfitted my camera in a configuration that forced me to look at the smaller things in life. And even though it is getting close to winter, I found that there was still a lot of color and life to be found.

Fitting my camera with my zoom lens, but with tube extenders reducing the maximum focal distance down to only a few feet, I was able to zoom in on small details instead of far away objects.

Holly berries, covered in dew

Dew on the leaves

Droplets on a some grass

Moss looks like another world

Little mossy trees

I don’t know what this is but its colorful

No bees around today

This flower is like a planet

Shallow depth of field

Tomatos

A gnome protecting the garden

Everyone loves kale these days

A shortcut to mushroms

Baby pinecones

A fallen leaf

More dew on the grass

A firey flower

Some not yet ripe raspberries

Some overripe ones too

A clover in the birdbath

White berries

Leaves are changing

Looks like someone is ready for halloween

These bleong to Mr. Spider
