    Motherhood

    Motherhood

    A common centipede cradling her brood. Found her when digging up an old concrete path in the garden. It goes to show even the creepiest of crawlies can care for their offspring. Taken with my old compact, so not great.

    Watching Over You

    Went for the more surreal end of the HDR spectrum with this shot. I know the over cooked effect isn't to everyone's taste, but I think it suited the subject.
