This box elder bug is taking shelter from the winter on the flowers in my AeroGarden. They are harmless critters who do no damage, even to house plants.

...is to fill 52 themes, one a week for the year. Some weeks, maybe I'll try to find several photos to fit the themes. Others, I may spend more time trying to perfect one that seems best to represent the theme. Three years of a photo-a-day opened my eyes, now I want to hone my skills.

I think I need one of those for these winter months to remind me there still is color somewhere lol I love the bright blooms and the way the stripes on the bugs coordinates w/ the flowers (you planned that, didn't you?) :)
ReplyDeleteThat was my first thought too... that the bug is perfectly color coordinated with the flowers! I like the depth of field in this image... really puts the attention on the insect.
ReplyDeletePretty flower but an even prettier bug!
ReplyDeleteI hate bugs. Love the shot though.
ReplyDeleteI saw this post on FB and couldn't believe there is a bug on your blossom! I'm glad he is harmless...since he had the forethought to be compatible in coloring.
ReplyDeleteMore pictures from the aerogarden please!
ReplyDeleteWhat's an aerogarden? Is that like a hothouse for flowers? Love the marigold the bug is lazing on, not keen on the bug though!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderfully bright photo. It's almost good to see a garden bug again as I think I'm tired of winter. A great DOF really puts the spotlight on the bug.
ReplyDeleteAha! I see potential Aerogarden Addicts here, Bobbie!
ReplyDeleteBugs? I'm with Amber..I hate bugs..even if they are surrounded by the beauty in an Aerogarden!
But, the colors are cheery, nevertheless.(a Franciscan view of AG Flora & Fauna, perhaps?) :-)

Bright and beautiful. The vignette focus on the flower and insect works wonderfully.
ReplyDeleteHi!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot of the flower and bug. They go together wonderfully. Have a great day!
Sherrie
The flower is a stunning shade..and it highlights the little bug like you had planned it..love this shot!
ReplyDeleteReally like the image of the flower. Not so crazy about the bug - any bug! Now I have to go google AeroGarden!
ReplyDeleteAeroGardens are self contained hydroponic gardens: you can check them out at www.aerogrow.com. This one is in my lightless, airless, soulless cubicle at work, where it provides me with light and color and life, not to mention the antics of the box elder bugs. I confess to having six more of them at home (AeroGardens, not box elder bugs!) During a New England winter, I'm growing herbs, petunias, lettuce, and cherry tomatoes, as well as attempting chili peppers. Corinne, a fello AG addict, understands!
ReplyDeleteThe colors are beautiful. They are a welcome sight in this horrible weather.
ReplyDeletewhere on earth did you find curious looking bug and flowers in the dead of winter?
