Small Wonders

(Note: Click on an image for a larger view)
There have been many things going on in my garden. Far too many to list here. The tomatoes are doing well, the green peppers are not, the cucumbers are sweet and strawberries are surprising me with a second fruiting. The flowers are thriving for the most part but my apples are bitterly disappointing. This year I have been fortunate enough to photograph several small visitors to my little patch of dirt who have brought a smile to my face. I'll let the pictures do the talking but here's the cast of characters:

- a grasshopper sits on my gazania flower
- a pollen-covered bee also on my gazanias
- a firefly's lime green light trail at dusk
- a cicada emerging from its carapace
- a precariously perched dragonfly
- a large spiderweb and its landlord lurking nearby


When I take the time to slow down and look at the world around me, it's the little things that take my breath away.
