a glance of an eye
hidden in a field of reed
glimmer of comfort

Visiting the local patch this evening to find some inner peace. Sat down the edge of a field of reed, watching some bumblebees. Looking up I met de eye of a female reed bunting, calmly sitting in the reed.

Had to stop the car on the way home from work for this beauty that was perched on an old house roof in the village of Lower Crawley this afternoon

On my recent walk home I spotted this small Dark-eyed Junco perching on a wire fence and "playing both sides of the fence" came to mind or The Rolling Stones song "Sitting On a Fence" LOL; I loved the perspective, the striking visual, the juxtaposition of nature and manmade object for this playful snap.

I had to rescue a baby rabbit trapped in our garden fence. Hopefully the little guy gets back to his group. I put him within sight of 6 other rabbits. It was hard convincing Ellie not to touch it but human scent would mark it so I used beekeeping gloves that smell like everything but humans.

I was just photographing this beautiful butterfly caterpillar on the little-traveled road when someone tapped me on the shoulder and quietly said, "Look over there!"
Had we not stopped for the caterpillar, we would have been very close...
Btw, this is the caterpillar (second photo for sure) of the Mourning Cloak butterfly (Nymphalis antiopa).
