Words in Picture 13 - Broken Wing

 This butterfly could barely balance itself after losing a wing.

It could have just sat there and moan but it went around flapping the remainder of its wings doubly fast instead.

It is probably still thankful with the abundance of cosmos flowers around.

The above is a photo I captured in between 2 trees and below my wooden blind to make a nice frame for my messy looking garden.

Head over to Garden Bloggers Bloom Day at May Dreams Gardens to see what is blooming around the world now.

Fill the Frame

This month's theme for Picture This Photo Contest at Gardening Gone Wild is "Fill the Frame".

Since there are so much happenings in the garden, I have easily filled many frames.

The first image is of a dragonfly on my lemon grass; one of my favourite herb.

The cosmos flowers have attracted many butterflies and I wanted to capture as many as possible in a single frame.
Alas, I managed to fill 3 butterflies in one frame but decided that less is more attractive.

There are many lady beetles too.
The above is dotted while the one below comes with stripes.

Capturing 2 lady beetles in one frame is definitely a delight!
I am glad that their family planning is about increasing their population.
They live dangerous lifestyles with booby traps surrounding them.

A lady beetle flew right into the web below but wriggled and escaped.

The spider was visibly upset though.

Back to filling frames for the contest.

Would flowers without critters be better choices?

Your input is much appreciated.

After putting in much thought, the garden web is the one that really fills the frame...to the brim, in fact.
So, I shall select the spider with the cobweb as my entry for Picture This Photo Contest in Gardening Gone Wild.

Linking up with Macro Friday

Weeds Loving Creatures

This is not the usual bright coloured butterfly. 

Nevertheless, I think it looks pretty sipping nectar from a pink wild flower.
