Although I do not have a keen interest into botany and gardening, I have always been fascinated by carnivorous plants.
These plants always arouse curiosity among people, bringing to mind depictions of fantastic "man-eating" plants and the environment, in which many of them live, the mysterious tropical forest, has helped to magnify what I've just said.
There are many hundred species of plants that attract animals to consume as food: some specialize in attracting insects with sweet scents, others use a leaf swift closing mechanism, some use a tubular type leaf with a small amount of digestive enzyme in the base.
There is something wonderfully unsettling and mysterious about these plants that feasts on animals: nature always intrigues us with his own artistic creations, a fascinating world made up of colors and evolved into ingenious traps.

Suddenly autumn with its incessant rain washed away memories of a Mediterranean summer that seemed to never end.
My hometown awakened drowned by water that continued to fall from a dark sky full of gothic piles clouds.
Then, at the end of the day, the clouds drove away and the last remnants of the sun inflamed the world around me, before the darkness come back once again, now in this short autumn days.

Take a day outside, wandering in the woods, with your camera and a keen eye.
This combination makes me always slow down and look more intently than I normally would; you might be attracted by hidden things, always present for all careful observers.
Such as the bark of a tree and its knots, natural and concrete elements, transformed into unexpected looks of a living forest.
"Someone's watching you" is the new photo of the month on my website. Enjoy!
