Nature conquers everything.  It’s unstoppable!

This little “island” is about 2 cm in diameter.

This tiny “tree” is about 3 cm tall and it really seems to grow out of solid rock.

Sadly I had no luck with the birds but there were hundreds of butterflies so I concentrated on shooting them :-)

Pictures from my stay in rome are still pending and may take some more time because I’m (partially) moving to Jena next week.
So I’m going to show you some dragonflies I shot yesterday.
