About this photo: “This is a picture from a walk I took with my family over winter.  It’s from the Magog Hills in Cambridgeshire.  There is an old settlement on top of the hill, and a nature trail walk around the old moat.  I was walking ahead of my family when I noticed this small flash of colour.  I took a closer look and there was this vividly bright flower amidst the brown decaying leaves.  I tried to capture the flower in all it’s delicacy, but It wasn’t until later in that I realised that a small bug was taking refuge in the flower.  I felt envious of the the bug, albeit slightly trivial, in that in the big dark wood there was this tiny flower, and in the tiny flower there was a tiny bug taking shelter from the wintery world…”
