My nephew took this photo some years back during a summer hiking trip. I love it for its absolute focus and the mystery of the inhabitant that had created this fabulously textured, now deserted, sheltered place of transformation. A dried out speck in the blurry landscape and yet so wholly a world onto its own, now gone.

So the big question is, what WAS is before it was deserted? Beehive maybe?? It’s crystal clear for sure!

No, much too small to have been a beehive. It is positioned on a single blade of dried wild grass. More likely it was a cocoon for some type of pupa. A chrysalis in crystal clear focus…! Cool, isn’t it?
