The images in this post appeared in Calling Up Connections, my submission to last week’s photo challenge Look Up. They fit nicely here in the Details challenge too, showing that frame of reference is everything.

This photo is reminiscent of magic realism, a painting style I’m particularly fond of. Beautiful detail. (P.S. Wow! A link on your site to mine … what a lovely surprise. Thanks, Steve!)
Thanks! That intimate barnacle shot is eye catching. Funny, I liked it so much I inadvertently posted it without thinking much about my words. The result was a caption with an utterly wrong scientific name, fixed now. As for your blog, it’s irresistible. I loved your most recent fungus post, such beautiful images.
Steve, your words made a wonderful difference to my day … thank you for your thoughts.
Wonderful photo’s again!
Thanks Terry! I like that one too.
Really impressive shot.
Thanks! I like that shot too. The barnacles helped out; they were clean of almost all encrusting organisms and other material. This lets you can concentrate on the barnacles. I appreciate you taking the time to let me know you like it.
