Aren’t they wonderful, so soft and feathery. Nature really is quite incredible.
The tiny ladder caught my eye! I had to try and capture it – luckily our favourite photographer had his macro lens nearby!
I agree with Lorraine “Nature really is incredible.”
…and I am amazed at what is going on at this tiny scale…if only we could see it! I am Glad of the Hittys sharp eyes and enthusiastic nature!
I too agree with the ladies above. Recently, I found myself considering that the cottonwood trees in our area are some of my favorites of all time-their cottony seeds too are fascinating.
We love cottonwood fluff too! There are a few places near the Hitty Cupboard where we can see their seeds in the spring, billows and rolls of them – so delicate and ephemeral!
Just like the previous commenters, I was awestruck by the wonders of nature. What gorgeous photos, showing the exquisite patterns in nature! Another thing that I hadn’t really gotten, was how petite Ginny really is! Amelia holding her really showed that! How tall is she? 2 inches? 1 1/2 inches?
Ginny is two inches tall – and quite a determined little spark!
Love the close up of Amelia holding Ginny to view the plants up close!
If the big girls are not around, the little ones tend to get into trouble so the big girls do their best to help them out!
