I am always amazed at the beauty in some of the most mundane of things when put into a well-focused and well-balanced photo. I have always said that even a vacant overgrown lot can have so much beauty when you look closely at things.

Nice sharp details on tiny things so fragile. I've been to a few arboretums but never thought to take BW photos. Now that the flowers are pretty much going away, that is an idea to consider!
