Lynne's Somewhat Invented Life from United States

Very funny title, Michael and even better photo. My granddaughter once saw two Charlie Bobs--otherwise known as Box Elder Bugs--doing the deed and she said, "Grandma, here is a bug with two heads." I didn't explain and she still remembers, "Remember, Grandma, when I saw that bug with two heads?" Her memory! Good grief.

Observing from West Cheshire, United Kingdom

A superb macro Michael, beautiful composition and bokeh.

Regarding the quote by Berenice Abbott; ''Photography can only represent the present. Once photographed, the subject becomes part of the past''.

This is incorrect. It is through photography that we are able to record a moment which can be viewed once the moment has passed, the subject remains in the present. If a second photograph should be made of the same subject, would this then be in the future in relation to the first photograph ?
