The things which fascinate boys

I found a little beetle, so that beetle was his name,
And I called him Alexander and he answered just the same.
I put him in a matchbox, and I kept him all the day...
And Nanny let my beetle out
Yes, Nanny let my beetle out
She went and let my beetle out-
And beetle ran away.

A. A. Milne

Such concentration and focus!! A terrific shot, and I love Milne's verse! One of the rhymes I have always enjoyed. V

Wonderful to see the fascination. Well done.

Wonderful portrait of this little guy being a boy. Only a boy would play with a beetle. :) Love the verse too and the toning is perfect for this. V.

Yeah, somebody else remembers Melanie. I hope you didn't let Alexander out.

A memorable image with an excellent verse to accompany it. It appears as if this nanny actually captured the beetle for posterity!
