This looks vaguely familiar. I have this same shot which I took last year on May 18th. My shot has only one ant. You may recall that I had posted on it on the Photo Challenge. The Peony is my favorite flower and I am anxious for them to bloom as well. Funny how we were both attracted to the ants on these buds. From what I understand, the ants play a significant role in the development of the Peony Blossom so it’s not wise to use any kind of herbicide to rid them of the ants. Nicely captured by the way. Len
Thanks so much Len!! Grandma would never let us pick them and bring them inside, she said, “you’ll bring in all the ants!!” Waiting for the beautiful blooms to open!!
You have some really great examples of the intricacies of nature along with the interesting commentaries. I see a book in your future with more of these fascinating images and their explanations. Continue with your macro work and tell us more! A real talent. Cheers, Greg.
wow Greg, thank you very much, I have been blessed to come from a long line of nature lovers and creative people. I just try and capture Mother Natures beauty with my camrea. Thanks so much for taking the time to look at my work and leave a nice comment, looking forward to seeing your wonderful birds!
