    A Busy Bee is Busy Indeed, But a Hundred Bees?

    Something a little different for this afternoon.  A few photos of the busy bumble bees in our yard (I am not totally 100% sure they are actually Bumble Bees, but they were to small to be a Carpenter Bee, but I am sure someone will let me know species and Latin name) as they go [...]

    A Spider Web in Morning Dew // Macro Photography

Add a little morning mist or dew and they really light up.   Macro photography is something I really like as well, and the combination of dew on the web and its size made for a great macro photography opportunity.

    Close Up Macro Photography of a Grasshopper on Barbed Wire

    We all just need a place to hang out sometimes. Of course, we can’t all balance like this guy. I love macro photography, it gives you a chance to look at something very close and expands the number of subjects you have on any given day.  This grasshopper is not very large as [...]
