love it .. i was reading your description and the bug was out'v the frame .. so i scrolled up and there he was .. i laughed .. i love bugs and you've caught this one so well .. its a brilliant photograph ... those colours are excellent ...
i was also wondering about the flower .. with its expectorant and suppressant properties .. i cant work that out .. coz an expectorant brings the phlegm up and the other suppresses it .. wot a clever flower .. !!..:)

There is something about leaves that just speak to my eyes and heart. This is very well done and I have always thought that the Japanese maple leaves are amazingly beautiful.

Those husbands can be so sweet at times, can't they? The collaboration led to a really nice shot you've shared with us.

Very pleasing to the eye, and I really like the DOF, against the focused reddishleaf.....
