Tiny moth for a tiny flower
Have you seen those tiny little white daisies that spring up in the lawn and garden at this time of year (Spring)? I love the challenge of photographing them. On this particular day I was given extra value with an equally tiny moth upon the flower.

Passifloraceae Vine growing on a tree
