p.s. The angel above is in honor of my mother, who often misspelled "angels" as "angles." I have several boxes of her "Christmas angles" that I truly treasure. The title of this treasure hunt made me smile thinking of her. I know she would think it was funny, and we would laugh together. I love the angel's sweet expression. I love you, mama!

Odd Angles Blog-to-Blog Treasure Hunt - Group No. 1: Creatures

Getting close to the little (and not-so-little) creatures is such a treat. Once again, the incredible detail God has woven into every living thing amazes me every time I am blessed with a glimpse.....

glad to see us

Odd Angles Blog-to-Blog Treasure Hunt - Group No. 2: Flora

As most of you know, flowers, trees, mushrooms, really any plant, are some of my favorite subjects to photograph. Taking a closer look always fascinates me (and tries the patience of my incredibly understanding and supportive family), as it reveals patterns and beauty that are easily missed .....

Odd Angles Blog-to-Blog Treasure Hunt - Group No. 3: Portraits

Odd Angles Blog-to-Blog Treasure Hunt - Group No. 4: Architecture and Structure

I have found that putting myself at a different angle when taking a photograph allows me to capture interesting details that I might miss when looking at something directly and from my full height. This group includes perspectives I have noticed along the way. I have tried to capture the detail that caught my eye. Enjoy!
