Gardens have fascinated mankind since the construction of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, if not before. They have been the source of inspiration and reflection for persons ranging from Monet to Michael Pollan, author of Second Nature. Drawing on his own small patch of land, Jay Dykes has created this delightful tribute to his own small garden, with an emphasis on its insect life. At the site, visitors can elect to start at one of three sections: Fly, Walk, or Crawl. Within each section, visitors will find an array of arresting photos of snails, honeybees, wasps, and butterflies, to name but a few. A nice touch is added to the Web site by the presence of a tiny ladybug that makes its way across the screen throughout the site. Most of the photographs also feature a magnifying glass, which allows visitors to examine the intricate features of these small creatures. The accompanying descriptions of the photographs and their subjects are creatively fashioned, and include several anecdotes about Mr. Dyke's experiences with these backyard denizens. Anyone with the most remote interest in garden-dwelling insects should find this site interesting. [KMG]
