beetle

At a Close Glance

Nature never ceases to amaze me, and so does refusing to see the truth.

I always thought this tiny beetle was black. It is the size of a pinhead. It wasn’t until I decided to take a picture of it and zoom it that I realized all its beautiful colors. At a glance, it looks black, but it is not. Now, I see it with very different eyes.
Buzzards are welcomed here in Chatham. We even have a buzzard festival.

Jester enchants the crowd,

at the ivory palace,

the half, mesmerized, dance.
