Recovery …
This is what a near drowned wasp (or bee) looks like, just about done in.

The water is cold and salty, I have seen creatures that live in and on it too.
Recovery on the way, sitting a while to gather strength. A little mite sees an opportunity.
There have been a few of these creatures recovered from the pond the last few weeks.
So far none have failed to take to the skies after a short time sitting still and drying out.
Time for a few pictures, I’m sure they don’t mind. In their state of shock I’m sure they don’t notice.
Other ‘things’ occupying their tiny mind, like the sensation of being alive. Having a scratch, that mite?
You can tell by the look of it how it’s doing, relative to how it was doing. Looking good to go …
There seems no end to the creatures that will fall into the pool.
Some are lucky to be found before exhaustion overtakes them.
They have a short time to continue to live out their little lives.
A short time is all we are here anyway.
Making the short climb out.
