The green vine snake is diurnal and mildly venomous. This arboreal snake normally feeds on frogs and lizards using its binocular vision to hunt. They are slow moving, relying on camouflaging as a vine in foliage.

a lot of bumble bees out & about right now

My wife asked me to get some shots of this flower...said it reminded her of fire. So, my goal became to make it look like fire. I could have done this pretty simply by finding the right angle and directing warm light at it, but I would have lost the detail of the outer leaves. So I chose to use three light sources. A warm light angled from above attempting to focus on the center, a cooler light from the bottom right, and a 4000K light from a distance of several feet. I think it came out pretty much how she envisioned.

I really do not use Photoshop in my macro work. I adjusted the exposure in the RAW editor but that's about it. No re-coloring, cloning, or other Photoshop enhancements in this shot.

I love the way the light falls on the fern leaves in this shot. For me, it just highlights the beauty of nature.

I am a little bit obsessed with these flowers. I absolutely cannot resist them when they arrive in our local stores. And I love trying to capture their grace and beauty...I keep trying!

Pure white stamens creeping from purple flowers.

A quick shot of the dew in the grass this morning.

Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.
