My best insect macro shot to date. Check out the flecks of pollen on the fly's body, and the compound eyes.

This is a rectangular stretched canvas acrylic painting. Bees and flowers are 2 of my favorite things, so it only made sense to combine the 2 in a painting!

This shot is very much like the previous shot I showed you, but has a differing position for the bee's abdomen. This is one of those cases where I really wanted to use both photos and almost picked one over the other, but decided to post both.
I hope that you don't mind the similarities between the two photos. I have but only one or two bee photos left in this series and I want to make sure that I show you the ones I think are worth looking at.

Jim Thomas Farm has worked with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources and Conservation Service (NRCS) to create their conservation plan to improve their farm operations with cows, sheep, goats, and chicken in Sunderland, MA, on October 18, 2019. Their operation includes a farm stand and pollinator garden that was hosting bumblebees on the day of this visit.
NRCS has a proud history of supporting America’s farmers, ranchers, and forest landowners. For more than 80 years, we have helped people make investments in their operations and local communities to keep working lands working, boost rural economies, increase the competitiveness of American agriculture, and improve the quality of our air, water, soil, and habitat.
As the USDA’s primary private lands conservation agency, we generate, manage, and share the data, technology, and standards that enable partners and policymakers to make decisions informed by objective, reliable science.
And through one-on-one, personalized advice, we work voluntarily with producers and communities to find the best solutions to meet their unique conservation and business goals. By doing so, we help ensure the health of our natural resources and the long-term sustainability of American agriculture.
Farm Production and Conservation (FPAC) is the Department’s focal point for the nation’s farmers and ranchers and other stewards of private agricultural lands and non-industrial private forest lands. FPAC agencies implement programs designed to mitigate the significant risks of farming through crop insurance services, conservation programs and technical assistance, and commodity, lending, and disaster programs.
The agencies and service supporting FPAC are Farm Service Agency (FSA), Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), and Risk Management Agency (RMA).

I like making custom gifts. Here are some flameworked glass and silver earrings , inspired by my "Pollination" brooch. When these are worn, the glass bees seem to hover around the floral forms.

Ookow (Dichelostemma congestum) and a insect, in the North Fork Wilderness on the Mad River Ranger District in Six Rivers National Forest. In the background you can see manzanitas regenerating after the 2020 August Complex Fire. This photo was submitted for the May 2023, employee photo contest: flowers and pollinators.

A photo of a common buckeye butterfly on a coneflower. While helping in a pollinator garden, the butterfly decided to hang out with me. Kearney, Nebraska.

Another Monarch shot, though in a different year and in another country! We're on the east-coast migratory path, so I seem to run into them a lot.
These are kale and cauliflower plants that overwintered in a corner of our garden and are now going to seed. I'll have to pull them up, but they're not in the way right now and I think the blossoms are pretty!
Some photos around the yard with my battered old Summicron DR 50mm f2. It's a little hazed but the results are still lovely.

there is a busy bee in there... maybe you can see him but he is quite coated in pollen.
“Morning is the best of all times in the garden. The sun is not yet hot. Sweet vapors rise from the earth. Night dew clings to the soil and makes plants glisten. Birds call to one another. Bees are already at work.”
