"Like delicate lace, so the threads intertwine, oh, gossamer web of wond'rous design! Such beauty and grace wild nature produces... Ughh, look at that spider suck out that bug's juices!"
Bill Watterson

A mother’s love is like an everlasting bed of roses, that continues to blossom. A mother’s love bears strength, comfort, healing and warmth. Her beauty is compared to a sunny day that shines upon each rose petal and inspires hope.
― Ellen J. Barrier
While out shooting with my Flickr friends on Friday, we spied this mother with her little girl. With their almost matching hats and the sweet stuffed rabbit the little girl was holding onto tightly, I couldn't resist taking a few shots, but didnt' want to get their faces in it.
HBM!
Hang on Birdie little bird eating while the wind is blowing pretty hard, but he managed to hang in there, shot in North Carolina.

I took this photo on a meadow near home where I unsuccessfully looked for butterflies. What I found was this interesting looking plant which I had never noticed there before. I have come to the conclusion that this is an Echium vulgare, also known as viper's bugloss or blueweed, but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. You may have to zoom in to see the little bee which was hanging on one of the stamens.
Thanks to my Flickr friend Oswald I now know that this is a Phacelia tanacetifolia !
This is one of those times when I got the title before the photo. The title was inspired by a 1965 recording by the McCoys: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcHqUGZ6leI
For Macro Mondays theme 'Soap'.
I thought I would try and get a nice starburst effect on the soap bubbles, having done this a few times with water drops - there was a lot of trial and error, as the soap bubbles really were gloopy and did not want to stay motionless. Getting good starbursts just takes strong tiny sources of light, a stopped-down aperture, and quite a bit of patience as it is difficult to get the light source(s) in a useful spot. With water drops, the high surface tension acts like a 'skin' on the drop and it is possible to get really nice big starbursts on a motionless droplet. But the soap acts as a surfactant, reducing the surface tension resulting in the 'gloopiness' and I don't think these starbursts are as good as I have achieved with just water alone.
No soap dispensers were harmed in the making of this photograph.
A Northern Parula invaded a bug nest at the underside of a leaf and was rewarded with some juicy insects. Because of proximity of water treatment plant, this particular park gets a log of bugs even in winter months. Last year on Nov 27, I saw my fist Orange Crowned Warbler in this place. Sedgewick Park, Oakville, Ontario

One of my favourite shots of my friend, the squirrel. I never passed that park empty handed, always have a bag of peanuts for them. This park is part of the Allen Garden where I take most of my flower pictures. My day is complete, have some shots of flowers, exrtra ordinary shots of squirrels and lovely shots of sparrows which I will be posting tomorrow.
Have a nice evening everyone...
Thank you for your visit and support! I’m still on vacation and not available much will catch up when I can! Have a lovely weekend everyone!
A nice little 'Great tit.. 'Parus major'.. feeding on peanuts..
Have a lovely day.. thanks for any comment made..
One of the pleasures of having a macro lens is being able to watch a spider create a web, while having those silky threads emerge from the spinnerets. This European garden spider seemed to hang in mid-air as I held my breath while watching a glorious ballet.

Let's do this once more - I once posted a photo from my garden and asked you viewers what you thought it was ... and there wasn't much interaction.
This time, here's another shot, also from my garden. What do you guys think this is ? I'll post another photo tomorrow, when the answer will be revealed !
