Close-ups

Can't stop myself from being distracted by details,
and in some situations I think that is ok.  These visual distractions are from our vacation on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey:

This wooden fishing boat is on its way to becoming a Phaselis artifact

Snails have the most captivating homes.

A wash-ashore Christmas decoration.

This is apparently how a pinecone is constructed.

Tiny, and probably hot, peppers

Cacti are very fascinating for someone who grew up close to the Arctic Circle. 

Intriguing color.

I don't know if this is a mossy leaf or moss growing on a leaf,
I just thought it was beautiful.

This little guy is in search of a tour guide, and a bath.  If you
enlarge the photo (just click on it) you can see the salt/dust on him.

The rubies M is eating came from an abandoned pomegranate grove 

nestled amongst the ruins of Olympos.
