Ha! I just thought about getting up from the computer and fetching my "book-of-tasks-and-to-does" when I saw your very very wonderful photos. The best thing about being an ant is: you don't reflect on the need and sense of what you're up to do ;)) Happy working day!!
you just reminded me of all I must do!! I have had an unexpectedly interupted last week or two and have not been at all productive - but ah, there is always tomorrow!! =) LOVE these pics - what great photos, your blog is always so fascinating - I LOVE IT!!
Incredible photography and so fitting to your words for today, hope you are getting through your list efficiently whilst enjoying the munching process :) Have a good day!
What a lovely idea to make a metaphor from nature when pondering what we think are the banalities of day to day human life... dont you sometimes look at an ant carrying away a very large portion of your iced bun, and think ...... ummmm ....... all sorts of things? like , its magical the ant system's 'economy of time and space'!
What amazing little guys. I've been feeling a little stressed with deadlines, but now I will be able to picture myself as a giant ant too, and then I will smile, and my stress will go away. xoxo lj
Risa, these pictures are fabulous...looks and sounds familiar ;)..dont we all feel like little ants in the big jungle!! xxx

I love these leaf eating ants. We spent hours watching them in Costa Rica! Hope you are carrying your burdens painlessly.

I love design of the munched on leaf (just on the edges)! It would look so interesting in an artistic piece, a collage or something.
I hope your list is getting smaller and smaller and you have time to relax!

the photos are gorgeous. I'm getting nowhere on my list of tasks. But I've discovered about a dozen blogs and watched a CSI marathon. Very productive!
