It's a frightening world.....at the macro level

I spent several hours today around the Lotus pond at Lily Pons, MD. with a macro lens. When you look at these images on a large computer monitor the abstract beauty is the first thing that hits you. But the more you look, the more you realize where all those frightening images that were the stuff of nightmares and science fictions stores at a younger age got their inspiration. This image was made with a Nikon 105mm on a D300.
