Maria Tallchief (January 24, 1925) – Maria Tallchief is a member of the Osage Indian tribe and was the first Native American woman in ballet. She danced with the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo in the 40s. She joined the New York City Ballet in 1948 and appeared as a guest performer with the American Ballet Theatre in the late 50s. Her sister, Marjorie Tallchief, was the first Native American to become primere danseuse etoile in the Paris Opera Ballet.

I was photographing my roses and decided to take a photo of the thorns for some reason. I did not see this critter in the shot I was simply concentrating on the red thorns. It wasn’t until after I was doing post production did i notice the worm/critter. In fact I wasn’t sure it was a worm until I blew it up and it’s crazy how his eyes are definitely looking at me! I hate how they eat at my veggies but somehow I’m in awe of this little thing.
