A bright green praying mantis rests in gentle backlight upon the umbels of a wildflower. Nearby, a tiny hoverfly turns the early hour into a quiet meeting on a miniature scale.

Golden light and creamy bokeh surround the insects as drops of dew catch the first sun. The macro photograph reveals how much beauty can exist within a moment that is easily overlooked.

Its close attention to shape and light feels both calming and grounding. This nature artwork renews an appreciation for small and fragile things.
