Lady of the Morning
With a clear night sky and moisture in the air she attracts the dewdrops of a morning. Not yet warm enough to evaporate, maybe not at all today.
She is a Potter Wasp, or a Mud Dauber, I am no expert on naming – waking up in the field of bees. The sense is enough for me, no need for interpretations to muddy the view.
She is a lovely shape and colours, and gentle as can be. She’ll sit in my hand but I don’t post the same picture twice so you’ll have to take my word for it, if you give her due respect she will return it handsomely.
That’s the simple pleasure of being with the wild things, too simple for the mind to slow up for. It’s really gotta be worked at, this stillness that lies at the bottom of the well. See it down there, when the shapes and colours pass on by, as you go to sleep?
It’s really that simple, when you don’t ‘fall’ asleep.

Sweet the sting.
She’s a beauty.
What a beauty!
Indeed …
nice wasp lady ;-)
Yes, nice wasp lady ;-) That’s the fact.
Until someone personalises it.
“until”? I think, it is a fact also after personalisation ;-). Some people like wasps, while other prefere butterflies… ;-D
Not if the personalisation is in the negative … There is no like or dislike in the simple pleasure of being …
and that is so true! ;-)
Extraordinary and unique photos. Thanks to you I can see another world unknown to look normal.
Thanks Carlos.
. . . at the bottom of the well, yes . . .

Wow–it would be so cool to see out of their eyes for just one minute…I think :-) Love her colors……
You do, just forget the human stuff …
Fantastic! cheers!
Cheers. Yes, she is fantastic, but real enough …
How beautiful. I love your comment: “That’s the simple pleasure of being with the wild things, too simple for the mind to slow up for. It’s really gotta be worked at, this stillness that lies at the bottom of the well.”
