Departing

About the photo:  I captured this beauty in my kitchen and could not help but to snap...oh a few hundred quick shots with my digital camera.  These little suckers are quick!! 

Their proper name is Lady Bird Beetle and they are a little different from the common Lady Bugs.  They are much quicker too and I found that the hard way!  Regardless, I was so grateful for this precious little bug to allow me to play with it and snap a few memorable keepsakes, ever so preciously preserved in a timeless bubble!  Once I was finished I thanked it for it's cooperation and let the little bug go back to the nature where it belongs.


Dimension: The dimension of this photo is easily a perfect 12"x12" and perhaps even slightly larger. This specific one only named "Departing" will print beautifully in even a 20"x20"

Choice of my colour palette: I used the complimentary colours to the grass strand. This is the only one of the three photos, where the grass is not evident. I kept the framing in the same colour, regardless.  

Result:  A playful and enchanted Lady Bird Beetle getaway in 3 series.

Series:  As a result I've been able to develop a series of three still portraits each one with a unique name to fit the action at the moment.  BALANCE, DESCENDING and DEPARTING.

LOL..I love ladybugs!... In the spring we used to get inindated with them in our front window..I would have to scoop them out the window so let them go free..lol How they got into the siding then inside we never discovered..then we just moved..so I hope the new peopel don't kill them.
