A Quiet Moment
This frog had found what looked like the perfect place to rest—a large leaf floating just at the surface of the water.
What I love most about this photograph is the reflection. The water was calm enough to create a second little frog beneath the surface, while everything around it disappeared almost completely into the darkness.
For a moment, it was just the frog, the leaf and its reflection. Quiet, still, and completely undisturbed.
My Little Assistant
Apparently, I wasn't the only photographer out that day.
This little grasshopper had chosen my tripod as the perfect place to take a break. Sitting right on top of the tripod head, it looked almost as if it was checking my equipment—or perhaps waiting for its turn behind the camera.
I couldn't resist taking a photograph. After all, it's not every day that the wildlife comes to inspect the photographer instead of the other way around.
Into the Light
A tiny caterpillar making its way across the rough surface of the wood.
What caught my attention was the contrast between its dark, spiky body and the warm light surrounding it. Behind it, the sunlight created a beautiful starburst, while a small white feather caught the light in the background.
Ripples
The water was almost completely dark, hiding what was moving beneath the surface.
Then a goldfish appeared, briefly catching the light as it swam through the green reflections. With every movement, new circles spread across the water, growing wider until they slowly disappeared again.
For a moment, the darkness of the pond was filled with light and movement.
