"Termite mounds are associated with divine and sacred concepts in Hinduism, leading to their veneration, often due to their symbolic connection to fertility, the earth element, and the cyclical process of destruction and creation. Legends link mounds to Saint Valmiki who sat in deep meditation. Some mounds are even believed to be gateways to the Nagaloka (abode of snakes) or to have provided protection for Murugan."

for many years my garden was a shrubbery flic.kr/p/Lhv9ag which i loved. a picket fence covered in an ivy hedge coming down in a storm flic.kr/p/2gnCyih meant that over time changes had to happen flic.kr/p/2mn2x8a i'll be glad when the trellis is covered in honeysuckle and jasmine. that's the plan ...

I really enjoyed putting this one together and disappearing into another world while working on it. I needed the escape <3

The Dao Thanh Phán women’s dress features vibrant embroidered garments with symbolic motifs, red box hats adorned with tassels and silver ornaments, and indigo-dyed fabrics. The intricate designs and bright colors, especially red, are believed to ward off wild animals and evil spirits, providing protection in their mountainous environment. Their attire reflects their cultural identity, spiritual beliefs, and connection to nature, blending practicality with tradition.

I will never forget the mment i first saw these brightly dressed women working in the rice fields of Binh Lieu. These elaborate costumes are their daily wear.

I think this beautiful garden spider was protecting its nest from a wasp trying to steal her eggs.

While baking and using some local, fresh eggs we get from friends I admired their beauty. I appreciated their amazing, natural-looking, refreshing colors, how they are fragile, beautiful, and—to me—worthy of photographing. These eggs and their broken shells tell me a beautiful, relatable story. They may be considered broken, may even seem useless, and they still have worth, beauty and purpose.

female Green Huntsman Spider (Micrommata virescens) shelters her spiderlings before they disperse.

Another early AM shooting session, experimenting with Arista Ultra 100 shot at box speed. Fairly wide light capture here with somewhat harsh shadows and cloudless sky. This combination doesn't quite pull out the details in the shadows as much as I'd like, despite some very favorable comments about this film with D76. Will likely go back to Xtol in the next round.
