Continuing the Giving Thanks For theme that has been happening in the CY365 prompts this month. This one is about slowing down and noticing the little things in life: It's easy to forget the little things. The pile of toys we pick up every single day. The empty carton of milk that always seems to wind up in the refrigerator. The flowers blooming in the yard. Today, slow down. Pick up your camera and capture the little things in your life.
This was Friday's prompt. We had finally received some much welcomed rain on Thursday evening and overnight and once I checked the email to discover the prompt was The Little Things one of the things that went through my mind was how thankful I was for the rain, followed closely by wondering whether there were any raindrops left on the flowers so I could take a quick few shots before heading into the city for work.
I have been taking a few photos of the agapanthus over the last couple of days as it's been gradually opening and the following photos were taken quickly this morning.
Today's prompt is about taking a photo from a different perspective and I was very tempted to use this shot of the agapanthus as I was on the ground looking up the stalk for this one, but thought I'd do something different later.

And finally, the little bee being busy doing what bees do. The original email was of a bee and commenting on how addictive it can be attempting to take sharp, focussed shots of a tiny bee that moves all too quickly. All the photos were taken with the macro lens, but this is the one that come closest to being a macro shot.
