My Nerdish Side Comes Out

Dragonfly

It occurs to me that an awful lot of what happens in a garden involves insects and spiders.  Because of that I have spent an unusual amount of time watching and photographing them this month.

If you’d like to see a gallery of the results of this please take a look at Insect Portraits.

I find that observing behavior is as fascinating whether it’s children playing in a park or dueling insects on my broccoli plants. Creating environmental portraits in both situations is a challenge I’ve always been prepared to take on. Both require some patience, a little knowledge and good light – just like gardening.
