The small world ... insects and other tiny things.
Most times these days I have my macro lens with me instead of the wide angle lens. So, most of my woodland photos are actually macros. Whenever a butterfly or other insect is patient enough with me, I try to take a photo of it, and most times I am really surprised how cool some of these tiny creatures look when you have them on the big monitor at home.

There is a little puddle in a forest nearby which most times is at least wet, if not full of water. Almost always I find an image there. -- Johann Piber
