While hiking in the Sierras on a trail next to the South Fork River, I noticed a patch of very, very small blue wildflowers. They were smaller than a dime and so pretty. I had my Sony Cybershot W-5 with me and placed it in macro mode and took this shot. When I got home and downloaded it to my computer, I was amazed at the level of detail, down to the dusting of pollen on the petals, and I was in awe of nature, of our planet. There is so much out there that we never see. Little worlds within our own.
I entered this picture in a photo contest at work and it got first place and that's what really motivated me to begin pursuing photography as a more serious hobby. I know that all of you understand that feeling when others look through your eyes and share the feelings that you experienced when your took the shot.
