Almost Hidden

Sometimes I take pictures and capture something unexpected – like the katydid in a day lily taken back in July.

Or the tiny spider in a black eyed susan (during the ‘Black Eyed Susans in the Morning’ photo shoot).

Sometimes I take the picture knowing that there is something more – like this tiger swallowtail almost hidden behind a sunflower. I had been taking pictures of the butterfly on the zinnias just beforehand…and decided to do the hide and seek picture just to be different.

And then there are the milkweed bugs that are hiding on just about every milkweed seed pod I find – but they are rarely positioned to be completely visible!
