The prompt this week on The Gallery at Sticky Fingers is Nature...and I understand the lovely people at Green & Blacks are giving away a hamper of their scrummy goodies to me the winner, so there are judges and everything...
I have thousands of photos which would fit the prompt, but I wanted to take a 'new' photo instead of trawling through all my folders.
I wandered round the garden hoping for inspiration, as it's full of overgrown, should really be cut back raspberry plants at the moment, but it's still giving us loads of berries so that will just have to wait.
As I was taking the photo above, my TD called out to me 'Mum, look at this on the dresser door'And just look at this, it's so cute, don't you think?
I know it's not as pretty as a butterfly, but it's still very sweet.
And who knew moths wore little furry hats, I mean seriously, in this weather? Don't they get a little warm?
I'm pretty certain he was looking at me at this point...can you see his eyes? (I'm sure they do have eyes, don't they?)
Personally I think he sat on that glass to show me me just how dirty the glass is, as I was taking photos I was thinking 'Aaargh! NOoo! there are fingerprints everywhere, and I'm taking photos of them! Don't people know how to use handles!'
And what a very clever little moth to colour co-ordinate with the wood on the dresser, he matched perfectly!
By this time I was certain it (he/she?) was posing for me, as I gently swung open the dresser door to get a shot of the other side, it stayed perfectly still, and I swear it's *waving* at me.
But it's now gone, and is probably doing the usual headbutting of a light bulb elsewhere.
Isn't nature a wonderful thing?
