And aren't nature photos of things in nature? Like Yucca and cacti?

There the Ocotillo is, along with his Yucca buddy. These plants are no loner in this world. A new four-lane highway from the Franklin Mountain State Park (where these two plants were), dozed them both.

A few months ago I bought a device called the "olloclip". It's a small lens that clips over the camera portion of your iPhone. My model is the 3-in-1. One side is fisheye, the other wide angle. Unscrew the wide angle and underneath it is the macro lens.

Pretty cool for $40
