Bug's-eye View

I sat outside for 15 minutes today to soak up some vitamin D. I was sitting in a folding chair on my sidewalk and was struck by the variegated beauty by which I was surrounded. Having the camera nearby, I took some close-ups of the (mostly) decorative shrubs that were all around. The close-ups show off the colors and shapes so beautifully -- sort of a bug's eye view, I guess. Hope you enjoy these manifestations of God's creation as much I did:
