Blindly hanging on

We do that sometimes don't we - cling on to our chosen path with blind disregard to all that is going on around? Perhaps some can relate.

I'm sure that isn't what is going on here, but it is what this scene makes me think. I'm supposing that this is a larvae - caterpillar in the making. But I'm not sure and it is hard to look something up when you don't know what it is.

Survived the further laser treatment on my eye so now I no longer need to worry about sudden onset glaucoma. (Was I worrying anyway?) I am actually quite proud. I clung on to the side of the equipment until the end of the treatment before going all wobbly and starting to faint.

interesting find, I have no idea what this is but photographed well. glad everything went well with your laser treatment. I would have been the same way as you :)

[Maggiemae]

You would have to stay so still for laser treatment - a bit of a nightmare, I should think. Still for this shot too! Its a bit yucky but well focused!

[Babs]

Beautiful close up. So glad you survived your laser treatment. It all sounds quite scary.

[Kahsia]

Glad you are doing better. I think the photo is really good. I like how well focused it is and a nice DOF. Fav!

[Jerome]

Wonderful shot!

Huuu ... glaucoma. :(
I hope very much that no further treatments are necessary. Wish you all the best !!!

I'm glad your treatment went well! This is an interesting little bug.

I'm a bit squeamish about caterpillary-like things but this is a very clever shot. So glad your treatment has gone well

[Taffy]

This is fascinating. I like your title -- interesting that I used a similar one about a leaf!

[Lockarec]

I am so glad your treatment appears to be completed. That is a fantastic macro. I would be so interested to know what kind of critter it is.

Love this image, Helen! Awesome dof! Fav! :-)
So glad your treatment went well!

And very good that your laser treatment went well- I can understand your worries!

@shylaine3304 @maggiemae @onewing @moonmtn @jerome @claycameras @helenm2016 @evalieutionspics @gaylewood @ziggy77 @auricula42 you are all so kind to comment on my eye treatment (as well of course as on the photo). My eyes are feeling pretty tired right now so instead of viewing all your lovely photos, I will have to leave that until tomorrow.

[Helen Jane]

@taffy Thank you. Yes, your beautiful red hanging leaf. Much prettier to look at than this - I still don't know what it is!

Thanks for your comments on my recent photos :)

This is the pupal case of a ladybird larva - it looks like the ladybird has hatched out of it.
