There are wonderful places in the world that serve as an ideal photo theme. But I thought interesting pictures could be shot anywhere, so I went out to our garden and searched for a theme. I love these pictures, it’s the small things and animals that are almost invisible on weekdays, when up close look wonderful. | two green beetle on white flower
