Symbolism | Watercolor on paper, 2022

Since 2015, I have used "Motte" (moth) as my artist name, inspired by the poetry they embody. Moonlight guides their direction, preventing them from flying upside down. This is why they circle around lamps, unable to stop - they mistake the artificial light for the moon, flying themselves into exhaustion.

A close-up photograph of a Scarce Swallowtail butterfly (Iphiclides podalirius) perched on a lavender flower. The butterfly displays distinctive black and pale yellow striped wings with long tail-like projections. The wings show a clear pattern of alternating stripes, creating a zebra-like effect. The butterfly is captured in sharp detail against a soft, blurred green background, demonstrating the photographic technique of shallow depth of field. The lavender flowers appear in shades of purple and gray, with multiple small blooms along the stem. The image captures the butterfly in a natural feeding position, with its proboscis extended toward the flower.

Carpenter bee on lavender flower. Macro shot showing iridescent wings and furry body against green background.

#macro #insects #nature #bee #carpenter_bee #xylocopa #lavender #wings #iridescent #naturephotography #macrophotography #pollinators #wildlifephotography #entomology #biodiversity

A macro photograph captures a carpenter bee (Xylocopa) perched on a purple lavender flower spike. The bee's body is covered in dark, dense fur, creating a velvety appearance. Its wings display an iridescent quality, shifting between deep blue and turquoise hues when caught in the light. The wings show intricate vein patterns typical of hymenoptera species. The composition places the bee in sharp focus against a soft, green bokeh background. The lavender flowers combine purple and white tones, providing a natural contrast to the bee's dark body. The image demonstrates the principle of figure-ground relationship in Gestalt theory, with the bee clearly standing out against the blurred background. The lighting highlights the metallic qualities of the wings while maintaining detail in the bee's textured body.

Topped lavender flowers represent purity, silence, devotion, serenity, grace, and calmness. We will need the last three the most right now.

Topped Lavender flower macro photograph in a room setting - the topped lavender plant is a short, woodie evergreen plant with dark purple cone-shaped flowers that have medium purple ears on top. This is where their name derived from. This lavender plant is lush and bushy, with lots of tall lavender flowers. The lavender leaves are a medium to dark green where whereas the background is a bright lime green. The dark purple flower creates a beautiful contrast with the lime green background. Lavender flowers represent purity, silence, devotion, serenity, grace, and calmness. The mood is that of an early rainy spring morning with even soft lighting. This artwork has a quiet and relaxing presence.

Butterfly on lavender flower macro photograph
#macro #butterfly #lavender #naturephotography #insects #wildlifephotography #garden #purple #macrophotography #wings #flora #fauna #bokeh #naturedetails #closeup

A macro photograph captures a delicate moment in nature, showing a brown butterfly perched on a purple lavender flower stalk. The butterfly displays intricate wing patterns with orange-brown coloring and distinctive eyespots arranged in a symmetrical pattern. Its wings are spread, revealing detailed textures and a slight iridescent quality along the edges. The lavender stem features multiple small purple blooms arranged vertically, creating a natural geometric pattern. The background is softly blurred in shades of green, implementing a shallow depth of field that emphasizes the main subjects. The composition follows the rule of thirds, with the butterfly positioned optimally against the vertical line of the lavender. The lighting is soft and even, highlighting the fine details of both the insect's wings and the flower's delicate structure.

Lavender's not just pretty! It's a #gardening superhero for your veggies! Its scent deters pests (like aphids, moths & rabbits!), attracts pollinators, AND its roots help break up heavy soil. #lavender #veggiegarden #organicgardening
