If Worms Had Eyes (They Don't)

Hey! Wait! Please wait for me!

This is what I imagine being said by my worm (from whose perspective this worm is "seen"). Conveniently just six words, as is the title. :-)

Richard @vignouse gave me this get pushed challenge: " to capture a scene of your choice from the point of view and perspective of a bug or a worm." Well, I thought I would get the worm's POV out of the way first. If they had eyes (which they don't) their vision would probably be more like the out of focus portion of the picture on the left. (OK, that's just an excuse for poor uneven focusing.)

Since they don't, but do have receptors that enable them to perceive light -- degrees of brightness, I have attempted to portray that on the right.

Richard, I'll get you something better, I promise.
@vignouse Well, here is a first response to your challenge. My hope is that I've hit a low point in my photography and this is just a warm-up for the rest of the week.

It's a super idea Mary.

Ha, poor worms! Maybe having dodgy eyesight for worms would be a blessing, it's a scary world out there!

Haha!

Hi Mary - I hadn't expected you to take me so literally, but I like what you've done with this... it's creative and funny. I can't imagine what you're going to come up with next.!

@vignouse Thanks, Richard. Don't worry. I knew what you meant. It's just fun trying to think like a worm or bug.
