lost and found - the sack of potatoes



Hidden away in the darkest recesses of the garage. Forgotten, neglected. And yet something stirs within.

The first etiolated stem reaches out, hungry for light. And another, and another. They grow in silence, draining the wrinkled skin once firm and smooth. The aging mother is all but spent now. Her form disappears beneath the writhing mass as the stems climb ever higher.

departed - no. 2



The dragonfly nymph can take up to four years to become fully grown.

The young dragonfly has departed and all that remains is its discarded skin, the exuvia.
