Casa is Spanish for house. CASA is also an acronym for Connie, Antonio, Sam and Alex. We are all surnamed Veneracion. We all love to take photos -- of anything that catches our fancy. It's a family obsession.

I was also thinking… aren’t ants suckers for anything sweet? Pwede rin, di ba?

I saw something similar in a peony bud. The ants were all over it. Anything sweet attracts the ants.
Nice shot!
