Thank you for stopping by! I appreciate it.

Lavender Cotton blooms taken at the Melbourne Botanical Gardens. This species is Santolina Virens. They are quite small, the one in focus measures about 1.5 cm in diameter.

The knees get a good work out because they are less than a foot above the ground.

Many thanks for your visit, comments, invites and faves...it is always appreciated.

Macro Mondays

I had not planned to go out shooting - but an hour before sunset, the sky was looking interesting. So I raced out to a favorite Great Salt Lake spot in hopes of some color. My last-minute bet paid off!

The Great Salt Lake - GPS is not the exact spot of the shot.

- A colorful Arizona Sunset, pastel clouds moving West, with the sun leading the way, Cotton Candy Mount, AZ. -

As you well know Bridal Falls in the Fraser Valley is one of the busiest falls around Vancouver. What to do when you can't get a full shot of the falls because the tourists are blocking the view? Pull out the telephoto and get something gorgeous like this!! Kris ...

From my commute this morning. Adjustments to light levels. Color and saturation is untouched and as it came from the camera. Cropped a little.

Tectocoris diophthalmus, commonly known as the Hibiscus Harlequin Bug or Cotton Harlequin Bug, is a brightly coloured convex and rounded shield-shaped bug with a metallic sheen that grows to about 20 mm. Adult females are mostly orange and males are both blue and red or orange. The colours are quite variable. It lives in Northern and Eastern Australia, New Guinea and several Pacific Islands in habitats ranging from urban to agricultural and coastal areas.

The Hibiscus Harlequin Bugs feed on many species of the Hibiscus family (Malvaceae), as well as cultivated cotton. They will also eat Illawarra flame tree flowers, grevillea and bottlebrush saplings.

They are also known as "stink bugs" as they have scent glands which produce a bad smell which, when it is emitted by one bug, triggers others in the group, multiplying the bad smell.
