I just finished listening to the audiobook of @Zoe Schlanger's @zoeschlanger.bsky.social The Light Eaters, borrowed from my local library. Such a fascinating, mind blowing book - I'm ordering my own print copy. Read it and you'll never look at plants, or even yourself, the same way again. Just wow!

A poem for anyone feeling vulnerable due to fascists Trump. Written last Nov
"I know many people
are feeling fragile,
exposed,
if not shattered altogether.
Broken hearted, vulnerable,
and glass skinned.
See through...
but not necessarily seen or valued."

One of the fun thrills of photography is when you discover elements in the photos after you have taken them. I just captured this image of a ladybug on a daisy. Looking at it on my computer, I now see a pair of aphids - a ladybug’s prey - on the flower too. Can you see them too?
