Lemon Pansy

When I was returning my room, exhausted from work, I suddenly caught sight a small creature. This colorful, thorny caterpillar was hidden between path under my feet surrounding greenery. Usually, we do not give much importance such small insects, but that day, this creature caught my attention without knowing it. I stopped out of curiosity and looked at it and immediately took out my mobile camera and collected a few photographs. This moment forced me turn my eyes beauty nature anew.

The caterpillar body is blackish-brown in color is covered with small thorns horns everywhere. The head part is a little reddish orange, which makes it even more unique. It was sitting on the tip a leaf and eating something very attentively. It was clear from the sight how happy it was to see a small yet unique creation of nature in front of my eyes. I thought, how beautifully nature has decorated even such a small creature.

While taking the photo, I noticed that the insect was not afraid at all. It was slowly moving forward on its own, touching the leaves around it and collecting food. This scene seemed convey a simple yet profound message from nature—every living thing its own life, its own struggle. We often fail see the beauty such small lives due our busy schedules, but inside them lies an extraordinary story survival.

This change transformation life is one most amazing phenomena in nature. A strange feeling arose when I thought about it—it seems match our lives. Today we may be in a certain state, but tomorrow we may express ourselves in a new form.

Another joy of photography is capturing the moment. Maybe in a few days this caterpillar will no longer be there, it will change into a new life. But today's pictures will remind me that one day I saw this little creature on my way home from work. I felt that nature places some gifts in front of our eyes every day, we just don't notice them.

This experience made me realize how much peace it gives to be connected to nature. When such a scene suddenly comes mind amidst the fatigue, work pressure, and busyness day mind becomes refreshed in a different way. Photography is not limited just taking pictures, it teaches us see, notice appreciate.

Seeing this caterpillar on way back room after work taking a photograph, I felt like I was sharing a moment with nature anew. Even though it is small, it valuable experience. In every corner life every path, nature has hidden some beauty for us.
