“Mosca Descansando en un Cactus”
The photo’s name translates to “Fly Resting on a Cactus,” and it shows just that. It was taken by artist Eva Ropero Villalon in the Malaga area of Andalucía, Spain. Ropero Villalon captured it in the beautiful Parque de La Paloma, where she went walking with her two year old son to “escape this whole pandemic situation for a brief moment.” Relatable.
“Suddenly, I saw that my son was looking at something with insistence,” she said. “He likes insects a lot, so I got closer and saw this blowfly resting on a small cactus flower. I was carried away by the emotion of my son. In this photo, I realized that the small details are what really matter.”
I couldn’t agree more. The sheen of the blowfly’s wings, how its spiky antennae match the spikes of the cactus? Nice find, two-year-old kid.
