Up Close and Personal

As someone new to photography, I'm still finding out who I am behind the lens. I've been feeling a bit self-conscious that so many of my photos are close-ups of leaves. Then it dawned on me...close-ups are where my eye leads me the most. I get the most joy out of photos when they are of everyday things magnified...zoomed in on so one can notice their beautiful textures and colors. This is likely who I am as a photographer. With that said, here is yet another close-up of some gorgeous brown leaves against a blacktop backdrop (say that ten times fast). This is my submission for both Texture Thursday at The Daily Wyatt and This or That Thursday at Deb Duty Photography. If you want to submit your own photos, check them out! They both have beautiful blogs.
