Some shots of the interior of an Arum maculatum flower (Cuckoo pint). The interior is designed to trap inects for a day or 2 so they get well dusted in pollen - there were a couple of small flies trapped in this one when I opened it up (I had been weeding but decided to have a look at the interior of one of them).
All shots 5Dmk2/ MPE-65 and focus stacked using zerene stacker.

    You do beautiful work, m'lord. Surely there is an angel involved. Though I understand you only get one of those.

    Thanks for the comments, not sure about an angel but still have my childlike inquisitiveness.

    Then you need to pick up Going Postal, if you have not yet read it. I believe it is currently being made into a British television mini-series/movie, much like The Colour of Magic.

    For those who are confused, these are books by a very funny gentleman by the name of Sir Terry Pratchett. There are over thirty of the Discworld series at this point in time, and sadly, there won't be many more. It's British humor, so be warned. :D

    Obviously missed the point :) THink I've got and read all the discworld books- Terry Pratchett is my favourite author.
