So I produced this a couple of days ago, didn't exactly work out as planed, or hoped, but that's how it is, ..or that's why it does not get boring. Some things are naturally harder to photograph than others..

But I wanted to do this for a while, these random wildflowers are pretty tiny (which is nice) but just fragile overall. The stems are so thin, like a piece of fiber or fine stitching thread, there is no way of picking a flower (within 30 sec it's withered away) or even putting a clip on it or anything, it's that fragile. When the light changes or goes away, the flower just closes.

Since it's summer now, I have pots and bucket with flowers, cacti, succelents, vegetables everywhere *g*, so I actually have these random yellow flowers (I do not even know the name of) in a pot and that's how I managed to convince them to cooperate a little bit, to do some photo stuff with me.

Some might wonder what this red thingy in the reflection of some of the droplets is *g*.

Found this very common Red-breasted Carrion Beetle strolling over rotting mushrooms and excrements (14mm long, Oiceoptoma thoracicum, Silphidae) in a mixed forest in Valmiera (northern Latvia, August 2015).

I had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Tim and Rebecca yesterday. It was a beautiful day, if a touch on the hot side at 103 degrees.

The ceremony was just 50 yards from this wheat field, so of course we had to go out and make a few images in it!
