Close Up Pins and Buttons

Flowers and all their beauty. Take the time to look closely and you'll notice the flower you pass by everyday has a personality. There's a small face watching you and if you acknowledge this you'll see if that face is approving or not. Strange you say. Try it and look close. Your busy world will open up to a smaller world beneath you that is actually quite huge and enormous in splendour.

Do you like trains? I discovered this in an abandoned rail yard and created this interesting image for railway buffs.
