Chaos in Nature Close Ups

My family loves to make fun of my photographic interests. They joke about how I constantly slow them down on hikes by stopping to take close up photos of weird stuff along the trail. Rocks, plants, sticks, bark, lichen, whatever… it’s all interesting to me. Rather than typing a lot of thoughts about it, I’ll just share a few of those photos and you can let me know what you think.

There are twenty (20) photos. That’s “a few”, right? Enjoy!
