More circular holes for solitary bees to retire in.

If you observe us and our relatives living in the wild closely, you will be able to recognise how your yourselves are faring.   Love, the hotel bees.

Drops, pearls, or orbs with worlds inside?

102 raindrop 1

Raindrops and spiderwebs are winning combination.

This was taken a few years back when I had only a compact camera but I like it.  If it weren’t so cold today I’d go out and try to find a few more spiderwebs after the rain.

And like last week a bonus – not really a raindrop but I’ll offer it nevertheless:

This droplet was hanging from a tapir’s snout.

Is there a purpose to an ant?

101 different a

Somewhere in Swabia I came upon a bump next to the road with this primeval looking monster on top.  I suppose it is meant as art although there was no plaque to identify either the artist or the title of the piece.   I just accepted it for what it is: a giant ant.

But for a lonely moorhen

This somewhat strange structure is found between the lower and upper lake in the city centre of Böblingen, a town near Stuttgart in Germany.  I say strange because it seems so barren and stark.

The reflections make a great photographic subject.

And getting close one can play with thin columns and shadows and vanishing points.

Here is a fourth, a bonus picture, which I just had to include:

Getting your cows in a row

95 row b

I didn’t find ducks so I thought cows might do as well. They were jostling a bit but I think that’s usually the case if one is trying to arrange for a group picture.

For A Photo a Week: Getting your ducks in a row.

More people or ducks or … in a row can be found here.
