Let's fly

Little Fly, 

Thy summer's play 

My thoughtless hand 

Has brushed away.

Am not I 

A fly like thee? 

Or art not thou 

A man like me?

                            (William Blake)

There are a few flaws, but I wanted to share it anyway since it's winter and I'll have to wait 4 or 5 months to get another chance of catching such reddish eyes again.

The Butterfly Effect

Small Heath (Coenonympha pamphilus)

The photo was taken on a sunny afternoon in my living room a few months ago. When I saw the butterfly I immediately got the idea of catching its reflection in the window. It took me about an hour to capture the right angle – not much if I consider the end result. So the next time you see a butterfly or a ladybird on your window, give it a try! You might be surprised how easy a ''Picture Perfect'' photo might be done.

1, 2, 3 – How Old Are We?

Counting the spots to see how old they are? Stop.

Different ladybugs have different numbers of spots and the spots are with them all their life. They don't get more spots as they get older, nor do they lose spots. But if you're interested in their age: the spots do fade as they get older. :)
