Foto Macro: Nature Photography + Giveaway

Nothing makes me happier than spending an entire day outside in nature. I would love to be able to snap a picture of everything I see each day as I am out and about. This is one of the reasons that I love this week’s Earth friendly Etsy shop Foto Macro.

Foto Macro is owned by a lovely vegetarian named Angie Lilly in Delaware, Ohio. Angie is a passionate environmentalist, she tries to always purchase local and organic foods, personal care and cleaning products, and avid animal lover. She currently has 9 kitties living with her and her life partner Scott. Angie is also a huge lover of gardening, birding – she has 13 bird feeders in her yard, art, music, and photography.

Angie is a lovely poet who poetry comes through in the pictures that she takes. You will be mesmerized by her up close and personal pictures of flowers, nature and my favorite, insects and bugs. You can tell when you see the pictures that she takes and read that descriptions that she writes, that she loves what she does. This makes the pictures that she takes, that much more beautiful. All of Angie’s prints come in a large selection of sizes and either glossy or luster finish. She also used Fujicolor Crystal Archive photography paper, which will last a lifetime if stored properly. Angie has been such a lovely to send me a beautiful up close photograph of an ant.

Angie has become a huge part of Sweet Greens, she is always so lovely to interact with on the Facebook Fan page and leaves excellent comments and suggestions in the comments section on Sweet Greens.

    Tagetes patula cought my eye right away. The colour’s are so vibrant and it’s an amazing shot. I’m an artist myself (painting and drawing I have an art degree), so I appreciate good photography. I also quite enjoy the lady bug, having the water droplets adds a nice tone to the picture.

    I really love the Silphium perfolatum print. It does look like a sunflower (my favorite flower) and I love the water on the leaves…very nice composition, too.
