First Photographs from 2019
So far this new year I've only had my camera out three times. Two of those times were for short walks around town, and these two photos were taken during one of those walks. About the second image - I didn't expect to capture a nice landscape ...
Eight Spider Pictures from 2018
I went through my photo library and selected eight of my favorite spider images from this year that I had never shared. Hopefully none of them scare you away!
Little Leafhoppers
I’m disappointed to say that I did not take a single picture last week, but that means you get to see three little leafhoppers I’ve been saving for such an occasion.
A Groggy Yellowjacket
A German yellowjacket was hibernating on the ceiling of my mother’s shed. After knocking it down, I let it crawl onto a leaf and then a stump to photograph it.
Tiny Midges
After a cold week, I only found a few midges outside to photograph yesterday. That reminded me of this tiny, white midge I had photographed in October. It was barely noticeable, peeking into our nice, warm house, but a macro lens revealed its true midge identity.
Cool Crab Spider
It was 35 degrees Fahrenheit after sunset last night, but it wasn’t too cold for a crab spider (Thomisidae) to be out and about. You might say it was a cool crab spider.
The Bugs Haven’t Disappeared Yet
The temperature was fairly warm this weekend, so yesterday afternoon I went outside to see if there were any bugs still hanging around the yard to photograph. And of course there were still bugs around, because there are always bugs around.
Fall Leaves
Fall leaves are like snowflakes – they fall to the ground, they are unique, and it’s impossible to photograph all of them.
