    This was my second event with Martina of the Mansfield photography group. It was great to meet some other photographers and explore the macro world together and share photos, even if the weather was very challenging conditions. I feel like I learned a few things.

One of the members discovered a small patch of moss, instantly sparking everyone?s curiosity to capture the delicate dew resting on the tiny grass-like stems.
