The humble Self Heal (Prunella vulgaris). A small weed from the mint family with a delicate and colorful flower about 30mm across making its home on my vege patch. I didn't notice the tiny fly until processing the image.
Tradition says that the plant has a reputation as a styptic, a remedy for everyday cuts. Hercules is said to have learned of the plant and its virtues from Chiron the centaur.
My goal is to present images of objects and places as naturally as possible with minimal post processing. I hope the natural qualities will come through for the viewer with a little contemplation.
