More surfaces, Yosemite Nat'l Park

Part of this is just enjoying the special macro-mode on my camera, but there's also so much more to see when you look very closely at surfaces in nature and in your everyday environment. Taking small swatches like these even show so much variation, texture and interest as to form very viable compositions in their own right.

It's easy to imagine the microscopic worlds that exist when we can see the environment they exist in as vast, varied and complex. These images could even lend themselves to a smaller version of Slinkachu's world of diminutive dudes in Little People in the City.
