From a (wingless) bug's eye view,
the geraniums bordering my patio are probably
perceived as giant bungalows in the sky.
No doubt, the marble columns are colossal;
most likely an ancient temple to them,
built to honour their god of shelter, the 'Mighty Marble'.
Further down the deck, logs are stacked for winter warmth;
a cool pit stop of shade for the travelling bug.
And, as attractive as the aerial architecture may be...
thick forests,
leafy, floral wonderlands,
and the trek to tall, tempting trees,
require replenishing the radar,
if a bug is to reach its destination.
Whether it be under a black, bistro chair,
or stationed by a stuccoed wall,
respite from the blinding sun,
in the bright, blue sky,
is just steps away at the mosaic bay!
but, a bug's ain't too bad, either!
Thanks for visiting!

Oh, Poppy! Thank you for a sweet little tour of your garden through a bug's eye.
ReplyDeleteCan I be a bug in your neck of the woods? Let's see......maybe a dragonfly or butterfly (of course. Definitely one that can fly! Just beautiful!! Lucky buggies in your area :)
ReplyDeleteGood Afternoon Poppy, I am imagining myself as a little bug, flitting around Crete, finding your house and settling on the logs for a rest. I notice, there is even little holes for me to sleep in.
ReplyDeleteThis was a lovely fun post, with as usual, lots of beautiful colour.
Enjoy your sunny day.
Best Wishes
Daphne
Your photos are so beautiful! What a life a bug's is ~ very cute perspective.

Oh to have a Bug's Life... such a beautiful view!
ReplyDeleteAhhh Poppy such a way to describe your garden and what surrounds you is unique....an ode to a bug!!!......as is tradition with odes it needs to be sung I wonder if the crickets do that.LOL!
ReplyDeleteNever-the.less your photography just gets better and brings it all to life. If I didn't already live in the Mediterranean I'd love to be there :-)

Delightful post with a fresh perspective, one I'd never really thought about. Wonderful photography, Poppy! And that blue sky above it all. Yes, it's a bug's eye view for me! Now I'm wondering if the big toad that my husband is so fond of, the one that sits in a pot on the deck burrowed into the soil and comes out at night to sit under the outside light, is watching us too and enjoying the sights around him.
ReplyDeleteLove this post. Your photos are stunning and very clever. xo Laura
ReplyDeleteWhat an incredible perspective and imagination you have. Love the photos and will think of this when I meet a bug. hmmm or maybe even those darn flies we have...
ReplyDeleteSo delightful, so cheerful Poppy! If I was a little bug, if I could fly!!!
ReplyDeleteA fun post...you have such a wonderful imagination! :)
ReplyDeleteΚαταπληκτική η ξενάγηση μέσα από μια τέτοια ματιά!! Πολύ το ευχαριστήθηκα!
