Bugs on Thistle on the prairie.
The frenzy that announces the change of seasons has begun and I missed most of the summer. Again......
So you're walking around on this beautiful beach, and you see a beautiful pebble. You pick it up, and take it home as a little memento of that nice evening stroll.
But if the nice pebble actually weights more than you, then the only solution is digital rock-collection :) ... aka "take a picture of it" :) And here's one that I liked a a lot.
Actually its not my hobby. I just bought them at ebay to practice macros with subjects which do not run away ;-) Focus Bracketing for example which I have also used here to get the whole bug sharp (not the needles).

This bee was very busy this morning collecting pollen from this huge Organic Squash blossom. This is an enormous variety of squash called Sibley. They can grow anywhere from 5 to 15 lbs. Perfect for a huge pot of Squash Soup!

Years ago when my mom brought home to Jolie an Annalee doll she has been entranced with them ever since and has been collecting them. Memories are sweet. We so miss you mom and dad too at this season especially.

.............nest material. This is definitely not the most artistic of images; it is more of a documentary and behavioral shot. But I was rather excited to get it because it is the first time I have observed siskins exhibiting nesting behavior. This is the latest they have ever stayed on the farm and I cannot recall ever seeing them nesting in the area. I don't know if they will actually stay and raise young or not but it would certainly be exciting to witness.

This image was inspired from the movie Bright star. The title is called the collector because the subject is collecting the emotions, the happiness, the dreams. Constantly keeping them cherished as they should be.
This is the other image from the workshop that I had prepared and bought a plastic butterfly that is slightly better that than the ones I had before. I used a white fabric as background.
I chose to involve the viewer into the photo by making the subject look at the camera, but in a way that the viewer is being a nuisance to the space of the subject.

Collection of special 50 pence coins. These are different coins to the standard 50 pence coin as they are themed. The designs are unique and focus on historical events, notable people, British landmarks and some collections focussed on authors / books.
Examples of themes and collections are The Olympic Games 2012 series, Paddington Bear series, VE Day, Kew Gardens, Public Libraries and the Suffragette Movement to name but a few.
All are minted in various quantities and put into circulation. Many are worth more than their face value due to lower numbers that were put into circulation.
“Serendipity. Look for something, find something else, and realize that what you've found is more suited to your needs than what you thought you were looking for.” Lawrence Block
This woman was collecting all the dust from the yard ignoring everybody....she was leaving in her world...it was a sad image....
This female Sweat Bee looks like she's eating this flower's stamen, but she's really rust trying to anchor herself while she packs pollen onto her hind legs. Also looked like she was trying to strip pollen off with her mandibles.
Tech Specs: Canon 70D (F16, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (> 2x) + a diffused MT-24EX (both flash heads on Kaiser adjustable flash shoes). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held.
Technique: It was windy, so it was easy for me to grab onto the flower that the bee was in without spooking it. Once I had the flower's stem in my left index finger and thumb I I rested the lens on that same hand and waited until I could get an angle that would make the most out of the shallow depth at almost 3x. Lots and lots of frames...
At this point, the car was still fairly original. Over several years, I spent a lot of time, effort and money replacing numerous 1968 parts with modern ones - a four speed stick shift and related transmission components, an all new suspension with new shocks and bushings, replacement of leaking brake lines, the removal of the original asbestos drum brakes and many other components which had survived long beyond their original 5 year GM built-in lifespan. Under the hood, the car still contained the factory 400 Cubic Inch V8 engine, which also required lots of new and reproduction components to make it road-worthy.
