Fantastic shot! I read somewhere (was it here?) that the ant helps to open up that tightly wrapped peony bud. Could that possibly be true. Wish I had paid more attention when I encountered the remark.
It’s about 25% contained. Fortunately no structures have been lost at this time but there are still a few mandatory evacuations. They have determined that the fires where human cause. While they haven’t flat out said arson, it is very suspect that two fires start at the same time about a mile apart. So sad. The wind has changed directions so we don’t have any smoke in town right now.
The Peony and the Ant…sounds like a children’s story.

I was wondering why there are so many little ants on the peony. Maybe what you read is true.
Sharp work.
Thank you very much.
Lol. I agree it does sound like a childrens story. Great shot!
Have they gotten a handle on those wild fires yet?

I thought you might appreciate this clip from a wedding that had to be moved because of the fire . . . but they got some good shots.

Lol yeah I was discussing this photo with Marcus last night. That photographer is going to be booked for the next three years. Quick thinking 🙂
Yes, he’ll probably be booked but there will be a lot of pressure on him to take epic photos like this. 🙂
I agree.. Once in a lifetime opportunity 🙂
