An Ant Named Sisyphus


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   An Ant Named Sisyphus
An Ant Named Sisyphus
Unlike the Sisyphus of Greek mythology (who the gods forced to roll a boulder up a hill and watch it roll back down for eternity) this Sisyphus probably touched antennae, or bumped thoraxes, with his buddies once he got back to his group with this large yucca seed. I used Topaz Adjust to give a bit of color to the sands of White Sands. He was in the middle of a dune a long, long way from any ant activity at the moment I saw him.

What a capture, Thomas! The composition adds so much to story of this little guy's effort. Nice work.

  Your title cracked me up Tom (my husband says I'm like Sisyphus). Amazing nature at work - great capture!

  Unlike the myth, it is obvious that this Sisyphus has real purpose for his efforts. You have nicely captured that, Thomas.
