In the Pines

By wild | Published January 10, 2013

The prettiest ant that I ever did see,
she wears the coming sunset like a robe,
dancing away the years
like motes in a sunbeam.

The prettiest ant wears the coming sunset like a robe

    Reminds me of the sentinel ant in the first photo we have of your series. Another beautiful shot.

    A big fan of your work, Rick – considering i just discovered you via Tamron’s website!

    I am wondering if you used 90mm or 180mm lens in this shot?
