There is another
world, where this tiny creature
is gigantic.

A world just beyond the range
of our vision, out of sight.

That's a world where setup takes so long and most everything that moves manages to scoot from view before the shutter can be released

Most excellent. I just wish they'd stay out of my ears. I should probably stop hiding candy in there.

Many thanks, James. Same here . . . while setting up for the shot, gnats were going for eyes, nostrils, and watchband. With every swat, the desired subject would fly off

Until the sun was high enough to illuminate the plant, even smaller fliers went unnoticed. Kindest thanks for your compliment
