Another cool shot! I love sunflowers and the trapped ants makes this a unique shot. Liked
Steven Schwartzman replied:
I've never seen ants trapped like that again, so I was fortunate to notice this. The site has unfortunately become a parking lot now.

What a great shot Steven...I hope you rescued them after and gave them mouth to mouth resuscitation LOL...l/f
Steven Schwartzman replied:
Sorry, Denise, but these ants were dead at the time I took the picture. Your suggestion of mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on an ant is funny.

Steven Schwartzman replied:
I'd photographed sunflowers many times, including the drops of resin that form on them, but this was the one and only time I found any kind of life imprisoned in one.

Great shot
Steven Schwartzman replied:
It was a great find, but unfortunately the site is now a hotel and a parking lot.

Amazing capture! (pun intended, right?!?!?:))

As someone who's long been involved with language, I appreciate your pun, Christy. If you'd like to know more about this picture and my associations with the subject, you can read my post at https://portraitsofwildflowers.wordpress.com/2011/08/07/living-amber-exacts-its-deadly-toll/
