Something colorful - try finding anything this time of the year that isn't just brown was a little difficult, but I really liked how the sunlight made this new grass seem to glow.
I've already shared what I thought was important in nature - boundaries (if so inclined, you can see that photo under my Safety and Ethics post). Something extremely small was the detail on a dried blade of grass, I had never really noticed how the blade twisted itself into a helix. Look at the lovely ribbing.
Gross was easier, I was walking on the back of my 10 acres and come upon this scat. It may be from a dog, but we have a lot of coyotes in this area, I hear them singing to each other almost every night. So, I'm going with coyote scat.
Camouflage was the hardest. I finally settled on this image of my cat outdoors. She really does blend into the dried grasses at this time of year.
The camouflage picture is great. The cat really does blend in with the grass (and looks so very happy to be having his picture taken). I have a cat that looks just like that one, but getting him to go outside and act like a cat would probably be impossible. Also, the ribbing on the grass does look really cool, I don't think I have ever taken the time to really look at it like that. It's a nice wake-up call that maybe I should slow down and enjoy all the little things that nature has to offer.
ReplyDeleteI really like reading that you looked closely at the blade of grass, an object so often found in nature
ReplyDeleteI thought camouflage was really difficult as well. I agree that your cat definitely blends into the background during this time of year.
