There are a series of semi-saline Lakes near the town called Lake Victoria. I went there looking for lingering waders (or which there were a few) - but I also found these patterns in the dried mud of some of the lakes.
I really liked the contrast between the sandy mud and the glasswort / samphire plant.
You can find more macro shots at Macro Monday2 and I Heart Macro. SM

ReplyDeleteI like the patterns. It looks too dry for anything to grow there.

ReplyDeleteI don't know what to do with Macro and sometimes I can't find it on my camera..I guess I just need more practice and a little patience..Someday :)
What great, different captures!! It does look dry and hot, but that tiny plant softens the whole scene!! I love it!! Hope you have a great new week, Stewart!!
