Another of my recent Mayfly shots. Difficult to work out which one to post, although this one I like with the tails adding to the composition.
Worth viewing large.
a set of twelve blocks decorated with vintage ephemera and sealed........these are just for fun!!! sold on ebay!!!
I found the dry lavandula
I felt the sensation of nesting
I picked up the leaves and the hedera
I reaped the rose fruit
I made the liquidambar leaves branch
I composed the nest
I photographed
And in the end it flew away...
Consider the stars. Among them are no passions, no wars. They know neither love nor hatred. Did man but emulate the stars, would not his soul become clear and radiant as they are? But man's spirit draws him like a moth to the ephemera of this world, and in their heat he is consumed entire.

This was undoubtedly aimed at the guys in the garages and gas stations, and was probably flipped over when a woman came in. Note the censoring so this sample could be sent though the US Mail. My, how times have changed! "Forward Look" was also the advertising campaign slogan for the 1955 through 1961 Chrysler products. I wonder if they were making a play on that? (1958 Willens Art Calendar salesmen's sample book.)
Ephemera danica is a species of mayfly in the genus Ephemera...The adults mainly can be found in May–June (hence the common name of mayfly)... The lifetime of adults is very short (around four days at the most), hence its genus name (Ephemera).

Up before sunrise to walk down to the River Axe to see and photograph the Demoiselles and other river bank invertebrates.
I was not disappointed however the breeze was an issue, although very gentle there was very little shelter or cover so it was a struggle to begin with photograph, eventually things settled down and one of the first insects was this Mayfly.
A little tricky due to the thin grass blade, I could not get the whole of the Mayfly in focus so concentrated on the main body.
Best viewed very large.
