Finding the little wonders most people walk past 🌿 Macro & Nature photography 📸 Gardener 🌸 🇨🇦

Hi, I'm Mandy! 👋

I'm from Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦, and I love getting up close with nature through my camera.

From a tiny spider hiding in a flower, to the heart of a purple bloom, to a single water droplet on frozen moss, I'm always looking for the little wonders most of us walk right past. 🌸✨❄️

To everyone who's been following along, thank you for being here.

And if you're new, welcome! Pull up a chair and slow down with me for a minute. 🌿

Today I had 4 different birds come to my feeder. A chickadee, a woodpecker, a cardinal, and a blue jay.

Yes I know… I’ve reached that age.

Before becoming a butterfly, a monarch caterpillar goes through one final preparation.

It uses its mouth to spin a little silk button, then attaches itself to it with tiny hooks on its rear legs and hangs upside down in a J shape.

Soon, it will shed its skin one last time and reveal a beautiful green chrysalis underneath.
