♫♥♫LORD OF THE LOST - The Heartbeat Of The Devil♫♥♫
I have often told you stories about the way
I lived the life of a drifter
Waiting for the day
When I'd take your hand and sing you songs
Then maybe you would say
"Come lay with me and love me"
And I would surely stay
But I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill going round
Guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune
Many times I've been a traveller
I looked for something new
In days of old when nights were cold
I wandered without you
But those days I thought my eyes had seen you standing near
Though blindness is confusing
It shows that you're not here
Now I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill going round
Guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune
I can hear the sound
Of a windmill going round
Guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune
Which I thought for so many years
That I would forever be
But I found you, you found me
I'm no soldier of fortune anymore
That's history, that's past
Light is always ahead
Even angels are around us

The Chattri is a war memorial in Brighton on the South Downs, near Patcham. It was opened in December 1920 and was unveiled by the Prince of Wales on 21st February 1921. It was built to honour the Hindu and Sikh soldiers who died in the First World War in Brighton war hospitals during 1914-1915.

Has anybody seen my soldier, standing all alone?
Has anybody seen my soldier, just trying to get home?
- Shania Twain
I build a wall and blow up all bridges
systematically suppressing all thoughts about you
burn all photographs and censor the songs
come what may, I must never lose control again.
everything that's moving, I keep it under close surveillance
have suspect elements immediately eliminated
a sign of weakness, a tremble of my fingers is enough
I need cool blood, because it does me no good to remember you.
it does me no good to remember you.
and everytime my heart cries for you
and chaos erupts inside of me,
I send my soldiers
to break down the restistance.
everytime my heart cries for you
and it's burning in the streets inside of me,
I order my army to do everything
to put it to silence again.
it is gagged, broken,
it gets locked up.
and finally my poor heart obeys.
The common red soldier beetle is also known as the 'bloodsucker' for its striking red appearance, but it is harmless. It is a beneficial garden insect as the adults eat aphids, and the larvae eat other pests. They are 1 cm long.
The common red soldier beetle is a medium-sized, narrow beetle commonly found on open-structured flowers, such as daises, cow parsley and hogweed, during the summer. It can be spotted on grasslands, along hedgerows, and in woodland, parks and gardens. Adults feed on aphids, and also eat pollen and nectar. Larvae prey on ground-dwelling invertebrates, such as slugs and snails, and live at the base of long grasses. The adults spend much of their short, summer lives mating, and can often be seen in pairs.

Bath - 26 July 2022.
If I should die, think only this of me:
That there’s some corner of a foreign field
That is for ever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam;
A body of England’s, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.
- The Soldier By Rupert Brooke

Love is in the air, or I should say on the Oat grass kernels!
I walked by several stands of Oat grass before I noticed they were covered in Soldier Beetles looking for mates or already engaged in the mating ritual. Usually I would prefer to use my 105mm macro lens for insects, but I had my birding lens with me, so I used it at full zoom extension- 400mm. It blurred out the sunny background while producing sharp rendering of the beetles, which were in bright shade.
Very happy with how this turned out, and I imagine there will be many more Soldier beetles as a result of the many couplings happening that evening :)
I spotted this little green iridescent beetle land and managed to get a couple of shots before it flew off

So, here's my soldier 76 WIP. Sorry that it took so long, but I feel like this is by far my best piece of sculpting work. Thoughts?
