Nina Lipscombe, Ugly Leaf (September theme: What Matters to Me )

Every bit of our natural world matters to me. That is why I love taking up-close and macro photos. I get to see the world and all of it's living things in a different way. Take this leaf for example. When I first viewed it from the front window in my house, I thought it was hideous, but when I got a closer look...well...see for yourself!
