Nectar of the Gods

Rhana Griffin

Nectar of the Gods

Mum came over for a visit today, and as we were sitting out in the glorious spring sunshine this little guy came buzzing along. A spilt cup of tea, a quick dash upstairs for the camera, and a pair of very dirty knees later… this!

    Rhana, this is gorgeous. Having spilled that tea on him gave his fur such an amazing hue. How did you ever come up with that amazing idea?? Nice work!

    Wow… this is stunning Rhana. I love the way the colour and detail are framed by the white petals and how you get a touch of the purple bleeding off to the edges. This really is fantastic macro work! An instant favourite!

    Allow me to add to the accolades…stunning capture Rhana! There’ll always be another cup to tea, but you can never be sure of a second chance at a shot like this….I just hope you didn’t spill it on your mum!

  • Rhana GriffinRedbubbley Schweppervescence replied

    It’s ok ANgela… Mum is used to my mad ways by now. Spilling my cup of tea on her wouldn’t even cause her to batt an eyelid ;)

    Thanks for your comments everyone, and thanks for hanging in there with me as I start exploring the small worlds we travel through every day, and yet sometimes fail to notice.

    Now that’s cool! I always thought the nectar of the gods was Mountain Dew though. ;)

  • Rhana GriffinRedbubbley Schweppervescence replied

    Nope… vodka, lemon, lime and bitters. This little fella is on a 12 step programme though ;)
