A Stick on the Path

A phasmid (stick insect) is being attacked mercilessly by predators.  Sad to say, it's camouflage abilities will not work in a concrete environment.

My God! I never realized. Now I feel like a helpless bystander.

An immaculate laid pavement Jack. I think this must be Japanese standard quality. But still there is a need for natural things, and a stick is added. Ment to be there for the passer bye to create his daily art work. You made a good one.

Something you never want to hear your doctor saying, Jack - "Oops!"

I find the 'quality of lighting' beautiful in this capture. The 'stick' reminds me of a slain creature......something alien.........the textures of the leaves and stones, pavement and stone wall all add to the 'conversation'. One of your best Jack.

Nature reasserts itself. Our imposing edifices must all decay and go back to the earth, as must we. I rejoice in that fact. --Lannie

Wow, Lannie, you dug up this old relic from the catacombs. I thought it was dead and buried and was surprised to see a new comment on it. Thanks a lot.
