Ant Out For a Walk

Ant on trumpet creeper

I took this photo last August while I was waiting for a hummingbird to come by.  The hummingbird turned out to be a no-show so the ant became a hero.

    Sometimes we have to take what we can get. It made a nice picture, even without the elusive hummingbird.

    Those no-shows happen to me all the time, but in nature, you can always find something else. This is great!

    That's a terrific macro! I am planting trumpet vines in the yard this year. Hoping to lure in some hummers and orioles!

    The tiny ant became your hero of the day because you we're clever enough to turn adversity into triumph. Love those all's well that ends well sort of days ;)
