The photograph I wanted to publish today is one of my collection of macro photos. I really enjoy taking macros and revealing in an image the small world that lives next to us. It is usually amazing and so colorful and different but we just don’t pay attention.<\/p>\n

I took this photograph during a memorable week-end in Yosemite. My very good friends Emmy & Eric were getting married in a fun hostel close to the park so we all drove to the Yosemite to celebrate with them. We had a lot of fun, did some rock climbing and partied all week-end and on Sunday, before heading home, Alex and I decided to head into the park to take some photographs of the river. While I was walking around trying to find the best angle to take the water, I turned around and so hundreds of ladybugs walking in a pile of grass… it was simply amazing and I got so excited that I had my macro lens with me. I was able to take multiple shots and this one if my favorite of the set. I love the vivid colors, the orange of the ladybugs against the green grass and the fact that there were drops of water still on the grass<\/p>\n
