Lovely shot Sinuhe, with the large view showing the ant activity well. Have a lovely weekend.

You are very lucky to have so many orchids around, the soft light works really well here. Have a great weekend, too.

Thanks Dave, it does take long for these orchids to become covered in ants....makes image stacking a bit tricky, as they are continually on the move

I envy your selection of birds, Axel....wish we had a greater variety.

BTW, the orchids are not all local - some are from day trips or more extended excursions

A lovely find and a lovely image, Sinuhe. Have a great weekend yourselves. We are having several hours of rain, which is desperately needed in Lincolnshire.

Thank you Carol, we can do with a decent bout of rain as well..as we head from one heatwave to the next...summer is not the carefree season it used to be...or perhaps I'm just getting older
