Small Finds Noticed on My Walks

A few little discoveries from my summer walks here in Paphos.
Nothing planned – just things that caught my eye along the way.

The caper plants keep going, despite the summer heat.

They bud, bloom, wither and die. Just like life itself.

Spiders are some of my most reliable photo subjects right now.
I see them every day, large and small, hanging in their webs and patiently waiting for prey.

And the dragonflies are still putting on their little aerial show…

    Skalbaggens antenner härmar axets form, snyggt! Och visst är det en mopp den där vissna blomman. Spindelbilderna, så dekorativa, den taggiga skulle man inte vilja komma för nära. Den tredje är skulpturalt snygg och ser ut att sväva. Men sländan ser ledsen ut. Åter en fin samling bilder.

      Tack, jag uppskattar verkligen att du lägger märke till de små detaljerna! Spindlarna, ja, den där taggiga ser nog lite läskig ut. Och den ledsna sländan… kanske hade den bara en dålig dag. 😉

    I love the withered caper. Looks like a little mop.

      Thank you, Egídio! You never know what you’ll come across on walks, but there always seems to be something worth stopping for.

    I would say that these spiders are decorative, but I prefer flowers and dragonflies. 😀

      Thanks for your comment, Aura. Luckily, we get to choose what we look at — and what we see. 😊

    Fabulous finds Anita. Wonderful macro photos. The first caper flower photo looks like the rear of a colourful bird

      Thank you, Brian! 😊 I hadn’t seen the bird until you pointed it out, now I can’t unsee it! 😄
