At dusk the other day, this little Speckled bush-cricket (I think it's one) crawled around on the lawn at home. A little sluggish, it moved slowly and I followed with macro and flashes. On its way, it enters this red-blasted leaf and stops balancing on the edge of the leaf and licks its leg. I had a flash thrown out on the ground obliquely behind to the right, which illuminated the leaf, and then a flash from above from the left as main light. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to adjust the exposure to the maximum so the background became a bit dark.
Regardless, the little dance between us was the treasure of the evening. 😀 Shortly after this photo was taken, it used its powerful hind legs and flew away into invisibility ... I managed in some strange way to lift my old body to a barely standing position and staggered and stumbled to the warm abode of home...😆😂 happy in the mood like this on an autumn evening in October... and thought in my quiet mind.. it's all good and fine here at home anyway..😍
A beautiful lilac bush grows in my backyard. in 2013 it got cut way back. 7 years later it is finally as full as it was then. I couldn't resist taking many photo images with my Canon, then with my IPhone 11 Pro I took a few more at different angles. My favorite photography is Macro with Bokeh thrown into the mix. Bokeh is when you focus on one item whether background or foreground, zoom in on it and blur the rest of the image. I also like to layer my Photo Images giving them a dimensional look. This makes for interesting and unusual photos. The lilac is my favorite flower besides the Poppy. I love its fragrance and the differentiating purple colors.

While on the Yankee Freedom Ferry Ride and docking at Fort Jefferson in Dry Tortugas National Park. The view is looking to the south as the bird was perched on some nearby railing.
I used the Merlin app on my iPhone to identify the bird.
It is nice to be able to see reflecting waters after a long winter of frozen lakes, Bush Lake, Bloomington, MN on 5-23-23.
I had a few extra minutes and it was such a beautiful day that I was able to open the door and watch the birds for a bit. So fun and so relaxing!
Walking along a frost covered hedgerow, I came across this view of the sun flickering through, which gace the impression that the bush was on fire!
Bush Stone-curlew, listed as a vulnerable species, or it is in my bird book! They have pretty good camouflage & freeze if you get too close. Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
Insects in the family Tettigoniidae are commonly called katydids (especially in North America) or bush crickets. They have previously been known as "long-horned grasshoppers". More than 8,000 species are known. Part of the suborder Ensifera, the Tettigoniidae are the only extant (living) family in the superfamily Tettigonioidea.
The Common button bush's (Cephalanthus occidentalis) blossoms matured in the last week and the butterflies, skippers, and bees are having a hay day. The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower center lists lots of alternate names: Common Buttonbush, Buttonbush, Button Willow, Honey Bells, Honeybells, Honey Balls, Honeyballs, and Button bush. These two blossoms seemed to meld together and the bee was sampling both. I believe this is a Common eastern bumble bee (Bombus impatiens) although they look very similar to Carpenter bees.

This is part of the set A cold winter forenoon I took on a clear and wonderful winter day outside Lund in Skåne. It had snowed heavily the day before which made the snowy landscape nicely untouched and together with hard rime on trees and bushes created a real ‘winter wonderland’. These old dried out flower bushes came alive with all the hard rime on them.
Fern from the Albany Pine Bush. Isolated from the background with flash. Explore: July 26, 2017.
Click or 'Z' for the HiRez goodness.
Abstract of a cranberry bush from along side the horseshoe lake trail near the Denali park headquarters. This is captured in camera, not a photoshop effect. There are a lot failed attempts as you make brush strokes with the camera across the subject, but eventually you'll get one that works. I hope you like it. Denali National Park, Alaska, USA, August 2016

An old bush mill that has been in the middle of the property for the past few years.
It was used to make garden stakes from local timber that was found on the farm.
During my recent visit to Sanctuary Mountain Maungatautari I also came across a flock of kaka. I tried to get some sort of an action shot. This is the best I could manage that day. It conveys some motion due to low-ish shutter speed. I wasn't sure whether to post this but I like the image so here goes! Despite the sunny weather, down on the forest floor in the shade it is still pretty dark. Hence a low-ish shutterspeed, widest aperture as possible and high iso.
Generally heard before they are seen, kaka are large, forest-dwelling parrots that are found on all three main islands of New Zealand and on several offshore islands. Much reduced in range and abundance in the North and South islands due to forest clearance and predation by introduced mammals, kaka are most abundant on offshore islands that have no introduced mammals, or at least no stoats. They remain locally common at some sites on the main islands that are close to offshore island refuges, and have increased in abundance at others where mammalian pests have been controlled.
