Spills a drop of rain
Sizzles and evaporates
Like our memories
Pollen-faced, blue eyes
Smothered in Sun-baked flowers
When light vanishes
Palm fronds bend and sough
Listen for the gale
Ears filling with feral winds
Menacing welkin
An Illusory Beauty
Like the Oleander Moth
Quickly melts away
A Day in the Brine 
Wow we don’t have ANY bugs in California that colorful!!! (At least not that I’ve seen.) Beautiful!! 🙂
Oh thank you, I’m so proud of the Oleander Moth. They are fascinating!!! You’d love them. They mimic the flight patterns of wasps, sort of shaped like a large wasp as you can see, and that scares predators, those bright colours sort of buzzing at them aggressively- however, the Oleander is really as harmless as a butterfly (that isn’t poisonous like the monarch of course). Perfectly edible. Nature is astounding. They are fairly difficult to photograph, but I put on the charm 😉
I love it! The colors are so vibrant and wow, beautiful macro shots! These are challenging and I have yet to master it. =)
Thank you for drizzling by, much appreciated! So elated you enjoyed my wee photos. I am so in love with Florida’s wee creatures. I am sure you will indeed master macro!! I look forward to seeing some soon. Cheers to you grand one,

=D What zoom lens did you use with this? What body do your cam have?
I used 18-55 mm lens for these with my d40x Nikon. P.S. What kind of camera do you use?
beautiful!
Thank you!
