Firebug (Pyrrhocoris apterus) perched on a tree trunk. These are the first insects to wake up after winter – actually they can often be seen basking on warmer winter days.

Entschuldigt bitte die Unschärfe, aber der Blick ist doch toll, nicht?

Excuse the blur, but the view is great, isn't it?

Disculpa el desenfoque, pero la vista es genial, ¿no?

The super moon turned out to be a less than optimum event but being out there with Jocelyn and

Bob for the evening made up for it. Playing with fire also made the evening spark :D....

I haven't been on here forever, and the excuses are huge, work, garden, photoshoots, tired, and those darn angry birds. I will have to get back to it and get caught up with my contacts.

A small moment in the summer greenery — a firebug climbing slowly through light and shadow.

Its vivid red stands out against the soft green around it, turning an everyday encounter into a quiet little scene from nature.

Ein kleiner Moment im sommerlichen Grün — eine Feuerwanze auf ihrem Weg durch Licht und Schatten.

Ihr kräftiges Rot hebt sich vom weichen Hintergrund ab und macht aus einer alltäglichen Begegnung eine stille kleine Szene aus der Natur.
