Sundews! June 13, 2008

High in the Hoosac Range, as the road winds upward through the hills, there’s a road-cut which catches full sun for most of the day, yet remains perpetually wet because of the expansive forested slope above it.
It’s one of my favorite places to photograph Little Things, like these strange and beautiful little Sundews:
The last time I saw them they were barely 20mm across; now they’re nearly 75mm (three inches for you ‘Muricans!)
Hope you like ‘em. 
Who yew calling a ‘Murrican?
They’re beautiful; it’s a real pleasure to see all I didn’t know was there.
Thanks, johnieB.
And sorry about the “‘Murican” jab. Strange, isn’t it, how proud we once were to be identified as such, and how our complacency has resulted in such a paradigm shift as to render the term downright embarrassing!
This is a dark time, but perhaps we can change course and set sail toward The Light in November!
Sorry to hijack a macro photography thread with my political ranting, but I just can’t douse that fire right now.
