Taken at the edge of Hillock Wood, Buckinghamshire, I noticed the wonderful reaching branches of this tree leaning out over the road.
Dedicated to the feelers...
To the ones who live in the quiet spaces,
feeling more than they ever speak.
This is for you, the ones who wear their hearts on their sleeves,
Who feel every unspoken word, every shift in energy,
every crack in the universe.
For the ones who are moved by the things most people overlook,
Who see beauty in the smallest details,
and who carry both the light and the weight of the world in their hearts.
This is for the ones who sometimes feel like their heart is too big for their body,
Who cry when they're happy, who ache when they see someone else hurting,
Who feel the pulse of the world in every quiet moment.
You're not "too much"...... You're exactly enough.
There is a big difference in what we long for,
what we settle for,
and what we are meant for......
Know the difference
Going to have a David Brent moment here but I feel damn proud of myself, cleaned the sensor on my camera of dust particles WITHOUT professional help! I know, I know, next I'll take a bow!
Now we got that out of the way, yes I am adding to my Ants collection with this little guy investigating a tiny stone that appeared by the entrance to their nest, the reason I explain that is because I want to achieve what I did with the Spiders, I want to get into their world, their behaviour and habits, at least as far as I can see above ground.
Into this week and I hope everyone is doing well all things considered and so as always, thank you!
PS: I know I need to increase my Aperture to further create a longer depth of field!
Es ist nicht zu glauben, wie schwer ein kleiner Grashüpfer zu fotografieren ist. Wenn man durch das Gras geht, dann springen sie schon von Grashalm zu Grashalm. Dieser Grashüpfer gehört zu der kleinen Gattung der Grashüpfer. In Anbetracht der sehr grossen Zahl von Grashüpfern und Heuschrecken kann ich nicht sagen, um welche Art es sich hier handelt. Das kleine Tier war nur ca. 2 cm lang und hatte kurze Fühler.
It is unbelievable how difficult it is to photograph a small grasshopper. When you walk through the grass, they jump from blade of grass to blade of grass. This grasshopper belongs to the small genus of grasshoppers. In view of the very large number of grasshoppers and grasshoppers, I can not say what kind this is. The small animal was only about 2 cm long and had short feelers.

This tiny pink flower was from a plant we bought on our recent visit to the garden centre, it's a Guara. It wasn't in bloom when we bought it so I didn't realise quite how tiny the flowers would be.

This huge clematis flower is in my garden and I really had to resist the temptation to pick it to make it easier to get a photo.
It's another one with the Lensbaby, I'm still not sure I am grasping the focus but I quite liked it anyway. I added a texture (my own) for a bit of added interest in the background.
I was fortunate (and surprized) to spot this mantis today... I found him on a banana leaf, sitting dead still, with his feelers and front legs tucked in (as if getting cold). I guess he too is waiting on spring...
From a capture of a large Mantis that visited with me for 3 days. I adore and revere Mantis and they seem to like me back:-) In summertime, very often they will come keep me company by my pc, and often staying for days. Sometimes one will fly up to me and rest on my arm or back or chest. The cutest is to see them groom their feelers, too precious:-)
This past August as I was sitting outside enjoying the sun shiny day I had a beautiful butterfly dance on me. He was so content to be out and about without a care in the world, kind of how I felt on this day!

those hairs assist in getting rid of heat as well as act as feelers, so this guy is one "cool' fly and he's "feeling good" !
I know that the cracks in this asphalt appeared before the plants poked their green stems up to the sunlight. However, I do appreciate how small plants will appear through concrete sidewalks and asphalt. The roots of the plant will take advantage of existing microscopic cracks. New cell growth takes place at the tips of plant roots. As the root system grows and develops, these tips act as feelers, seeking out the path of least resistance for expansion.
Two Bourletiella hortensis (females) eating a dead springtail. There was a short fierce battle for this by hitting the feelers on one another. Finally the right springtail was the victor and could eat quietly...
Opitter
Also called the malachite butterfly, after the green mineral malachite. The wings are black with bright green spots on the top and reddish brown with olive green spots on the bottom. The wingspan is about 8 to 10 centimeters. The butterfly occurs in the Neotropics, from Florida and South Texas to Brazil. There the species is quite common. The malachite butterfly lives on flower nectar and rotting fruit. They also drink juices from manure and dead animals. The caterpillars are black with red spots, have spines over their bodies and horns on their heads.

Artwork: Voelers/ Feelers (2021),
birch wood, 81x50x30cm
Artist: Thijs Kwakernaat
The photo above is a diptych of the same sculpture, seen from two sides.
Location: "Het Depot" Sculpture Gallery, Wageningen, The Netherlands
See more of his work on his website: www.thijskwakernaak.nl/beelden
~~~The constant in the work of Thijs Kwakernaak is working in wood and making figurative sculptures in which people are at the center.
Hands play a role in a lot of his work. “Hands are the tactile sense. I like to touch wood. Hands also represent doing: your eyes see something that your hands can then make.”
The environment in which Thijs Kwakernaak works influences his images. From his studio he looks out over the floodplains of the IJssel. Nature is present in this environment, nature to which Kwakernaak feels very connected. “You hear all kinds of sounds and there is nothing more healing than listening to the sounds of nature, the sound of ducks, birds crossing and spotting the kingfisher. I feel very connected to nature and also to a natural material like wood. I experience an intimacy when working in wood, a connection without words that I do not always experience with people. When a sculpture is finished, it must, as it were, want to come to me, as if some kind of being has emerged that I want to get to know.”~~~
