Ants

On my last day in La Union, I told myself I will take pictures of anything that fancies me, but I wasn't able to fully enjoy that because my brother asked me to come with him to the city where he will attend a meeting. It ate my time, yes, but it was still a fulfilling day as I was able to take pictures of St. William the Hermit Cathedral. Anyway, as we were walking along the plaza to the bus stop, I noticed one of the benches in the plaza and asked brother to stop for a while as I took a picture.



Ants

It was so interesting seeing the other ants trying to carry this one big ant! I am not a fan of ants at all, but I could say they look so pretty in this picture! Taken using Canon Powershot A580 digital camera, set to foliage, macro, no flash.

Happy weekends!

  1. What a unique shot! And I'm not real fussed with ants either, but this is a piece of art!

  2. Amazing photo. Sort of wonderful and horrible at the same time. The red ones don't look like they are friends to the big guy. Astonishing photo, though. The light and composition are wonderful... Way cool.

  10. What a very unusual picture. It has value as a record of an event I can't begin to explain but it is a superb shot. Those shadows make it art.

  13. I deleted my previous comment for I made a mistake. Here is what I wanted to say: It is very interesting. I wish I could take such shots, but either my camera isn't good enough or the photographer isn't! I think the latter. BTW are the red ants attacking the black ant?
