break … eventually.

It can be difficult to break from the diktat of previous form. So I thought, again, to show some of the variety of the garden, for your viewing pleasure – and mine. Outside my usual ‘sets’, here is a small sample of the wondrous creatures that come and go in the usually unseen world at our feet.

Amazed by the details of your photos. Each one tells a story of the insect, so interesting to see their daily life up close. I bet some would make great short movies!

  … at right viewing distance for the size. They are interesting little things, mirrors to us.

  Well they are, both. Insects are art, and presenting them is too.

So true! I am a bit fixated on bees (its just I have such a lot to learn about them) but last week We drove over an hour to a talk with 200 photographs of the insects of this region of France. When there is so much wonder and beauty all around, why confine myself to just a part of it? Amelia

  Everything has its time … knowing when time is up and letting go is another matter.
