I think of my macro lens as my “discovery” lens, since I have learned so much about the world around me by pointing it at little things. I didn’t know before that the African Violet that sits at the window next to my kitchen sink has tiny hairs outlining each petal of the flower blossoms or that the flower buds were so hairy. Who knew that an ordinary spoon or fork reflected its surroundings in such glorious detail? How could I live for over 60 years without realizing that those fuzzy things covering the bare branches of maple trees in the spring were blossoms that held hundreds of seeds or that a butterfly could look so ferocious?

Terry,
I love your work, the macro and flower still lifes are amazing. With summer approaching I hope to see lots more. And I really like your new web site too.

Terry, you’ve taught me a few things too with your excellent photography skills. I love your still life and your macros of your flowers. I do love your website too and will be looking very forward to more. It is filled with treasures.
