constantshots daily photofeed: closeups

Today I have some closeup shots I wanted to share with you. The first is a very colorful lichen on a dead stick. I have never looked that close at lichen or plants in general before I started making photos. I find the pattern very intresting to look at. For me that is one of the most interesting parts of photography. You think you have seen a thing a thousand times but when you start taking photos it feels like your looking at the thing for real for the first time.
The second photo falls in the same category. If I didn't started photographing I probably would never have noticed this intricate pattern of lines on the dead trunk.
