Photos: A Closer Look
WITH OUR LIFE'S FRANTIC PACE,
we tend to miss the details.
Ones that really matter.
Our natural world is full of
wondrous complexity, mystery and beauty.
It's all around us, flying over our heads,
in front of our eyes, around our feet
and under water.
The world's museums couldn't contain it all.
But outside, it's free to see!
BUT WE HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION.
