I have had a hard time recently adding new material to my site. It seams more and more that my day job, my part time job, and being a parent have all come into play in keeping me more and more busy. Recently I have invited some incredibly talented photographers that I have found on Flickr to share their skill with you on this site. They have had several great posts.

In the last few weeks I have thought about what else I could add. I have not been able to get out and explore the beautiful landscapes that surround the Wasatch Front. This brings me back to the original question of what can I do to add interest?

My answer has been to look in my backyard. Each and everyone of us has many interesting things right under our nose. All we have to do is look. Recently I spent a couple of hours looking at the small items that are in our lives every day, but that we so easily overlook.

This thought again came to me when I was in our backyard recently. I was watering the plants when I noticed this white spider come out from hiding. I quickly grabbed my camera and macro lens and this was what I captured.

I decided to spend more time looking for additional small items. In the coming days I plan on adding more macro shots that are found by looking no further then my back yard.

My advice is if you are having a hard time finding new subjects or finding time to get out and explore far away areas take some time to look at the exotic things located in your backyard.
