  3. You’ve shown a new light on the beauty of what many of us see as annoying–insects on their backdrop of flowers. Beauty in ways that I typically don’t consider. But the detail and color–love that green spider–are amazing. You have an eye for detail that I truly value. Thanks for this sweet treat today.

    • Thank you, dear Dayle. Very sorry for how low you must feel. Yeah, the green spider is special. May Jesus send you love today in some way. He will help you through this. Hugs!

  8. Wonderful photos, Ellen! Can’t imagine the patience it must have taken to capture each insect. The beetles offer a lovely green and rust color combination, and that yellow spider is quite spectacular. Who knew insects (besides butterflies) could offer such beauty?

    • Thank you. Am following your blog now. I will have to study which of the books you mentioned to read. Right now I am reading Yogananda because he reaches something deep inside me that I had in childhood and now is missing but I believe can be revived. Thank you so much for the “likes” on my blog and reading!🙏

      • Thank you so much for your response. The book “Autobiography of a Yogi” by Paramhansa Yogananda is a life changing book. Definitely you will be illuminated with unlimited spiritual potential which already exists among all of us, but we have forgotten our real Identity.
        Thank you so much for your kind words. together we will learn more, share more.
        My name is ARUN.
        Please mention your name.
        Best wishes and regards.
