I don't usually spend more than about an hour outside with my camera but the photographs are piling up quickly, so much is going on out there. All the plants are growing fast and more and more bugs and insects are returning to life.
The spear thistles are already growing fast and are always loved by all the smaller insects, such as this tiny leaf hopper who seems to be using the fine 'hairs' of the thistle to help him manoeuver, or perhaps they help him keep his balance after a heavy night?
Each time I return home to look at the captures, I am amazed at just how small and detailed even the tiniest of creatures and plants are, infinitely so.
Here I have given in to my fascination with stonewalls, and all the micro worlds that live on them. Completely different feel and look within just a few centimeters. Simply stunning and beautiful!
And, with it being so abundantly present, here once more the cheeky (and indeed rather cute) zebra spider (tiny jumping spider). They are quite interesting to observe, weaving fine strands of silk across the stones and busily jumping from one to the other, checking for rewards.
What amuses me is the attention they give to the camera lense ... kind of accepting it, kind of wondering perhaps ... :)
