Extremes of Focal Lengths

Today was an unusual day photographically. The morning began with me finding a Wolf’s Milk Slime Mold on one of our logs. I then photographed the orange mold in its entirety, much closer, and then very close to reveal its texture. For the ultra close view I shot the picture with my camera lens reversed - something I do not often do. (A dime would more than cover the slime mold. It was very small.)

At the other end of the focal length extreme I photographed sandhill cranes (many), a family of trumpeter swans, and duck hunters tossing decoys at Sweet Marsh.
