  1. Not just any ant, but an ant in your garden....and in the spring. Very nice, Ziva. The more I look at it the more it "grows" on me.

  2. Sweet shot. Would have gone there myself if anything was blooming. ::sigh::

  3. Very nice!  I can almost smell the blooms.

    ;-)

  4. That is a beautiful shot! Is it an orchid?

  5. I guess this is why you and Michael are the group leaders, because you take the photos to another level.

  6. Very lovely indeed. I bet that's almost an ant heaven. At least, if I was an ant, that's what I'd want my heaven to look like.

  7. Beautiful shot of a gorgeous flower.  If I was an ant, I'd crawl over over that!

  8. When they're not getting squished, ants actually do get to see some beauty. Nice shot!

  9. Thanks, Linda. I'm glad it doesn't have ants crawling all over it, though, considering it's inside my apartment. ;)

  10. Well, when you come back as an ant in the next life, I'll make sure to squish you quickly so you can see if that's what ant heaven looks like or not.

    No need to thank me.

  11. I'm glad you liked it, Bryan. But there are so many great photographers participating this time, Michael and I are just barely scraping along. Especially Michael.

  12. Yes, it's an orchid, one that hasn't got too many days of bloom left, I'm afraid. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  13. Thanks, Double-O! You have a really good nose.. ;)

  14. Oh, I couldn't be arsed with going outside, so I took a photo of the orchid in my living room. The ground in still covered in snow in Finland, so you won't see anything blooming for quite some time..

  15. Hah, yes, raisins. Actually, wouldn't just raisin do? I mean, have you seen how tiny ants are and how big raisins are? One raisin is plenty, they can cut it up in tiny pieces and then throw the pieces all over the floor.

  16.  I'm sure they'd love that. They should employ us to design their heaven.

  17. The 'garden' is the flower pot in my living room, but if you ever feel like exploring your ant fantasies, you're very welcome to come live on that orchid.

    ReplyDelete
  18. But what would they use to pay us with?

    ReplyDelete
  19. Here's I'm trying to plan a party and all you want to do is watch football. Men!

    (Pretend this comment goes under your Sky TV comment and don't give me
    any grief about too narrow comment fields, thank you very much.)

    ReplyDelete
  20.  Why would I give you grief about that?

    ReplyDelete
  21. Somehow, it just seems like something you might do.

    ReplyDelete
  22. They are one of my two favorite flowers - other being tulips. I may just have to go buy one or two later this week!

    ReplyDelete
  23. That's beautiful!  Great take on the theme.  It's nice to remember that ants sometimes get a pretty view.  It's not all impending Nikes!  :)

    ReplyDelete
  24. Thanks, Nora!  Normally, I'm totally the one with the Nikes, but I figured I have to do something happy once in a while. ;)

  25. I love orchids, too.. And lily-of-the-valley. But the thing is, I tend to kill them all. Accidentally, of course. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  26. Oh, I'm busily killing all my indoor plants so it's outside or nothing for me.

    ReplyDelete
  27. That's a very pretty orchid, but I'll bet it looks like a dried-up weed when you're sitting next to it. I assume you sit next to it, anyway. Instead of under it, which would be a little strange, especially if there are ants all over the place.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I took a poll, and I'm winning. Nobody will admit, though, because they don't want to hurt your feelings.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I adore this one! Love the white on white.

    ReplyDelete
  30. But...I thought the idea was to crush ants. Not make beautiful pictures of flowers. Your lack of morbidity is probably because you live in Finland, which is the third happiest country in the world. Stupid happiness. 

    ReplyDelete
  31. O-M-G. Love it. Love it. Love it. It's so beautiful I want to frame it in a clear frame and hang it on a dark blue wall. 

    ReplyDelete
  32. Oh Michael, you're such a sweet talker. Are you going to give me the old "do you come here often" line next? ;)

    ReplyDelete
  33. Thanks, Pam! I love white on white. And black on white. And white on black. And black on black. And grey.

    Basically, anything without any happy colors.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Man, I thought Finland was the second happiest country in the world, not the third? Dammit, I can feel the depressin set in already.. I'll be killing ants by next week, just you wait and see.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Well, if you happen to have a dark blue wall and clear frame, you can certainly have the photo, too. ;) I'm glad you liked it. :)
