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.

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).
ephemera : noun
plural noun: ephemera; noun: ephemerum
things that exist or are used or enjoyed for only a short time.
"there were papers, letters, old boxes—all sorts of ephemera"
collectable items that were originally expected to have only short-term usefulness or popularity.
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.

click on "Godzilla" on the teleporter screen
(note: if you click on the fire at the end of the ufo's blue beam, the pose will have you laying down killed by the beam -- if you tp from the screen, you land in this pose)
(note: this scene actually has 3 scenes so if you come out, you can choose what you want. The giants are Godzilla vs alien ship; then you have Arnold dead at the feet of the T-800, and finally you have a zombie massacre going on. Anyone of these will ruin your night out on Saturday but all three??? laughing)

"So, let's go to the art studio, NOW, Nanette" . . .
Well, it wasn't that simple, nor immediate!
Since the girls hadn't been here in over 3 years,
a *tour* was in order! Our older granddaughter sat on the floor in my studio for almost an hour, mesmerized and immersed in her dream room!
Ironically, with a house and various studios FULL of art and supplies, there are actually not a lot of large spaces in which to create with small groups!
So we covered our kitchen counter with oil cloth and funny papers, added another table, adorned paint smocks, and excitedly began! Our daughter had brought along a gel plate, acrylics, stencils, ephemera and ideas! We provided the paper and assorted leaves from our gardens!
Voilá . . . an explosion of creativity and FUN!
. . . and, it's only just begun!
Taken at Wicken Fen.
