focus

I've been struggling with my photography skills lately. I read a quote recently on a photography site about how it is easy to capture what you see in a photo, but harder to capture what you feel. Photographing trees and shrubs and bushes in neighborhood settings is not always easy. I find that I often need a building or some hardscape to enhance the subject--to place it somehow. But sometimes it gets old always trying to frame trees with a distinctive building corner or street sign. I realize that looking closer is sometimes the right answer.
