Lisa’s Lens 1

Lisa likes to take pictures and she does it well. I like insects. Every once in a while we join forces: I find bugs and she takes pictures. I have several of these lovely shots and it seems selfish of me to keep them to myself, so I’ve decided to periodically post them.  Today’s photo was taken while we were on sabbatical. Max and Jack spent a week at an art day camp at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. While the boys were creating sarcophagi and animal artifact mobiles, Lisa and I wandered the gorgeous IMA gardens and grounds looking for creepy crawlies to photograph. We found these beetles down by the river behind the museum. This male relentlessly chased the female all over this flower, desperately clinging to her as she tried to get away. I think it made Lisa think about our courtship.
