This weekend, I sort of went off the deep end. Saturday morning, with camera and tripod, off on bus 855 to see what surprises nature had today.

Here is the pink flower I have not identified yet - but pretty common

and some small orange flowers - Ixora from buds seen below

But here are clusters of Ixora buds - with a twist. A couple of black ants crawling over the surface. So here is there story.

Not sure what they are doing - but I was fascinated by where they walked, and then visited the same territory over and over again.

Here I can't see his/her head - but something interesting is happening

Then a side trip up a leaf - and the eyes

Then a walk across the bottom of the leaf

back up to the flower buds

and jumping from one place to another - like our ironworker acrobats

walking down a small stem

and who knows what is happening?

Then joined by his buddy

Here the focal plane is such that he looks suspended

Here I think you can see the eyes

A duet for two black ants.

more adventures for two ants

and two ants doing their things
