Gardening Gone Wild - Down On Your Knees

Gray hairstreak near blackfoot daisies

This is my entry for this month's Gardening Gone Wild contest: a call for garden pictures taken from knee level or lower. My picture is of a tiny gray hairstreak on a tiny leaf (about the size of a blade of grass) in a patch of tiny blackfoot daisies. This shot was taken at roughly ankle-level.

Good luck to everyone who enters!

  2. Hey Caroline,

    I REALLY like your photo!! I hope you don't mind that you've inspired me to enter as well. I haven't shot the photo yet, however. Cheers!

  3. Iris, I think that's how it's supposed to work! Randy inspired me, and now I've inspired you. :) Can't wait to see your entry (and Kim's...?)

  4. What a fun photo and the butterfly is a good capture, Caroline.

    Mr Brown Thumb recently posted about a woman who refrigerates butterflies to make them stay still for photos....am tempted but would have to catch them first.

    Good luck in the contest.
