Hungry Snapdragon
I had originally chosen a different motif for my contribution to the World Photography Day, but decided on this image because of the fear and disgust many people feel towards spiders.
The bumblebee in the snapdragon is one of the few insect species I was able to discover this summer. The rapid decline of insect diversity in many places is frightening. Birds are disappearing with them, etc.
Is this due to climate change? I don't think so.

If only we all could and would want to understand the language of nature and act accordingly. In the end, all that remains is the principle of hope and all that each of us can do in our daily lives to avert the worst…
Many thanks, Günter.
Enjoy your life anyway. :)

Here in my deserted area (uphills in Penedos and around) insects, birds, snales, mongeese, foxes and others are desappearing at a scary speed year after year...
Love your photo and message conveyed.

We are in complete agreement about the destruction of biodiversity and the human impact on climate change.
Sometimes I think that our descendants will only know many of the animal and plant species that we have destroyed from photos or movies. Isn't that sad? It gives WPD a whole new meaning, doesn't it?
I am glad that you love my photo and the message it conveys, and thank you very much.
Please accept my deep and sincere appreciation for your contribution to WPD this year in this way, as it is not possible for me to express it in your gallery. I love both , 'Sunrising on Thirsty Land', and Thirsty Land Poetry'. Both pictures are very evocative and just dreamlike. But 'Thirsty Land Poetry' is an exceptional subject and a masterpiece in the play of light, structure, and depth of field.

Ich hatte schon Sorge meine Tomaten und Paprika würden nicht bestäubt.
Mit den Trockenphasen kamen dann immer mehr.
Sehr schön gezeigt.
Schöne Grüße

I'm sorry that you felt the need to try and please others with your contribution. What you are interested in and what you like to photograph or think about photography is what I hope people will share. I'm one of those people who are not into spider photos - but I would have enjoyed seeing what you had done with such a photo, and it would help me get to know you more.
At any rate, I'm happy you thought about the day and have shared our group experience.
Happy Belated World Photography Day.
