Body Surfing

I've always liked how the thorns on some cacti resemble waves. I was trying to photograph some when I spotted this ant crawling around. I thought it would be neat to wait and see if it got into a position to mimic a body surfer. After quite a while and quite a few shots I captured the scene I was after.

What a terrific capture of this cactus and ant. It sort of reminds me of a famous Japanese woodblock print.

So clever and witty...he's caught it perfectly (or shall I say you did) and he's going to be in the pipeline soon. V!
