I've taken about 19 bajillion macro shots of ice and rain, so I know how challenging it is. You not only make it look easy, you've also managed to add emotion to the shots - I feel such a mixture of serenity and sorrow as I view them.
Sending lots of good thoughts to you, your partner, and your partner's family.
Thank you @traciyork. Macro is in my wheelhouse – I'm pretty well obsessed. I'm glad you perceive emotion in this set. Indeed, these speak for me in a way I presently cannot speak for myself.
I can see why you're obsessed, because you do it so well. And yes, that's one of the beautiful things about art - being able to express yourself when everyday words fail... * hugs *
