Excuse me for using a Photoshop/Lightroom term simply to amuse myself. I didn’t notice the ants on that flower bud, my friend did. But I did like how clearly the ants showed up in the viewer of my camera once I did see them. I have no clue what they were doing, but they sure looked busy.
It poured on Tuesday morning, and the thought of rain drops on the flowers at the Nature Coast Botanical Gardens was what got me out the door as soon as the sun came out. Raindrops, flowers, butterflies, and lizards were everywhere, perfect fodder for a couple of photographers who were getting antsy (pun intended) being stuck at home.
So I googled ants and bromeliads and you are going to have to trust me that the ants provide nutrients for the plants. Or google it. If you do then maybe you can explain it to me because it was way over my head…

Beautiful photos. I especially like the yellow and red flowers with the water droplets. It was worth getting out of bed!

Thank you. Our quick downpours do lead to some nice photo ops.
