Looking for the small beings

Sometimes I take my camera on walks with me, but not all the time. One thing I realized the last time I took it along was just how much delight I got from the small beings I was photographing. I do always listen and look for birds and it brings me a sense of calm, but there’s a different quality to taking their picture.
