It’s the small things in life

You can really make the ordinary things something spectacular when you hone in on the small details. When you look at the small side of life you can really appreciate the new texture and features that would be otherwise impossible to notice. The picture above is the sand falling down in an hourglass and the picture below is of some fake crystal that was sprayed with some water. By using the 10x macro filter on my 75-300 lens I was quite blown away by the cool details that were then present. 

The picture above is that of a small vile of glitter, which was fun to enlarge and show here. Below is a tiny little tea pot that was sprayed with some water and the water drops stayed in their tiny drops all around the areas that were sprayed.
