My Spiny Flower mantis reached adulthood and earned his wings. They had time to dry out, so it was time to exhibit those beautiful wings! 😍

Life consumes life. Fall webworms have turned this black cherry into an all-you-can-eat buffet, stripping leaves down to lace. But nature balances the books one hardworking paper wasp momma is out collecting caterpillars to feed her babies. Circle of life, Southern style. #photography #nature #macro

Small painting inspired by a photograph shared by The Kimono Gallery of the maiko Tanewaka performing A Brilliant Brocade of Chrysanthemums. The color palette arrived unexpectedly through a separate fascination with the Spiny Flower Mantis, part blossom and apparition. #Sumi-e #Japan #Geisha #Art
