Rock Pools

Today.

Walking in the rock pools with Nilo.

Some are like clay.

Some encrusted.

Some embedded.

And some covered with all kinds of life.

 I have no idea what this strange creature might be, but surely it's a relative of the Trilobite?

About 3 inches long... and yes, alive!

I'm tired of only having the camera on my phone. 

I'm tired. Full stop.

Beige

Heliconia leaves.
I wonder if a mould or an insect made these gorgeous patterns?

Crab galaxies.

Blue & Beige

Blue & Beige. A powerful combination.

Hamadryas. "Starry night". 

Can't remember which species. But it's one of my favorites.

Female ♀

Male ♂+ Female♀

Bad night. Dogs barking and 100 mile per hour thoughts. Not a good combination.

Pink & Red

Begonia.

Pink and red. 

I probably wouldn't think of putting these two together. But nature did it to great effect!

Pink & Purple & White

Orchids @ work.

Vine sphinx

A vine sphinx moth rendered on my coffee break with a ball point pen.

And why can't I get linkwithin to work on this blog?...
