Ana-Christine has picked a very popular theme for the lens artist challenge this week’ it’s close up. She’s also made it very inclusive by highlighting how you don’t need an expensive camera.I’ve only taken my camera out once this year, but my phone is always with me.
With the challenge in mind I walked the dogs at the valley park yesterday.
I’m fascinated by the form and colour of lichen, the tiny drops of dew were a bonus. My phone has a selective focus option, and while I could have got a better result with my camera, Flora and George would have had more time to get into mischief!

It’s about time we had a Flora and George photographic update. Please! I too love lichen and thatdewy spider-web increases the beauty. Buds too. What more could you ask?
Good morning lovely girl, I hope you’re well? I miss you but here’s a (((hug)))
Letter under construction. I’m all the better for being back home, although this post made me think I’m missing out on splendid spring. A hug back, and a pat for the two dogs – if they’ll accept it from a stranger. Are you well too?
Totally agree, Meg!!
Phones are so clever now, that is equally as good as a camera would take. I love the detail
Love this – you got it all! Dew drops, lichen and a budding twig. Is it an apple tree? (Or is it just the phone ;-D) Pats for Flora and George as well!
Fabulous photo 🙂
Really beautiful – nice take on close up (woof woof)
Lichen and a dew necklace! Your phone did a grand job, Gilly!
Love lichens as you know and how interesting to see two kinds here, the bonus is of course that sparkling necklace. Great shot Gilly, but I am never giving up my camera 🙂
A spiders beautiful work of art. The raindrops create a magical feel, Gilly.
Beautiful … Issy 😎
Wow, great capture,Gilly. Fascinating and beautiful dew drops!
Such an amazing shot.
Great detail Gilly … now what phone would that be? 🙂
Lovely! 🙂 🙂 I’m not great with my phone, and I struggle to download to my laptop so it’s easier to use those photos on Instagram and Facebook. 😦
