The bud


“Our consciousness rarely registers the beginning of a growth within us any more than without us; there have been many circulation of the sap before we detect the smallest sign of the bud.”
by:  George Eliot

                                             This is a peony bud with a  tiny visitor the Ant ^_^
                              Have a look to all beautiful macro shots here at Macro Monday

    Do you know what it will be? It's such a perfectly round bud.

    I'd know a peony bud anywhere!! One of my mother's favorites.

    My Macro is HERE. I do hope you can find time to stop for a visit with me today!

    Lovely shot and is that an extra little visitor I see on the bud ... an ant? It's always nice to capture a little something extra. :)

    Yes I can see the ant - what a surprise. Hopefully we may see the peony when it is in full bloom later on :)
    Thanks for visiting!

    very striking photo....our poor little peony is right by the drive and gets destroyed before it blooms every year...(usually by the car door)...i must move it when i get the chance.

    Beautiful shot of a peony bud and the little ant. I don't think I've ever seen a peony without ants on it, now that I think about it.
