17/52 Natural Patterns
I always find it fascinating what delicate patterns nature offers, here - fitting for the season 😉 - a small tulip that I discovered when I was taking photos in one of those tulip fields where you can pick your own bouquet to take home.

This is Tulip, the median carpenter ant worker. Today she enjoyed some wet cat food. I can’t seem to find Pepper, the ant with the green spot, I think she might have cleaned the paint off (she was very dusty) — stay tuned for more important Tulip updates. #tulip #ant #namedAnts

Tulip is about two years old. It's been nearly two years since I marked her. The queen of this colony is 4.
