One day last week we had a torrential rainshower pass through and I went out with the camera afterward and took some photos. These milkweed blossoms almost look like ceramic, there's an ant in the photo too. Did you see it?

About Me
- John Theberge
- I live in Lewiston, Maine and have for most of my life. I've always had an interest in nature; as a kid I read books by Edwin Way Teal, Rachael Carson, among others, and I used to love studying the Golden Nature Guides. When I got into photography it was natural for me to take pictures of the natural world. A few years ago I got into kayaking and that allowed me to get to places I would never be able to by hiking and of course this gives me more photography oppurtunities. I realized years ago you don't have to travel to exotic locations to get good photographs. I have to admit I'm lucky to be living in a beautiful state with a lot of natural diversity, but I've taken good pictures right in my own back yard and neighborhood.

Ceramic is the perfect word John. I've noticed this about the milkweed before. Your picture is flawless, and yep there's an ant!!
Have a great day!
Who would guess that milkweed could be so beautiful! This is really lovely.
I was so busy focusing on the water droplets that I almost didn't see the ant. It really does look like ceramic now that you say that. You are a master when it comes to water on flowers!
Gorgeous. All the little droplets!
Good job, John!
Cheers, Klaus
Very beautiful and wonderful description. I thought at first the ant was near the bottom then I noticed him near the top.
