It never stops raining.
Just cropped. And for once, no editing. Because I do not have a computer.

A large patch of Japanese anemones are the last flowers, along with camellias, to begin blooming in the yard. We survived 3 nights of frost forecasts (yay!) but hot-weather lovers like zinnias aren't thrilled. Still - I was surprised to look around today and see SO MANY blossoms still beckoning: milkweed, snapdragons, butterfly bushes, verbena, geranium, cosmos, rudbeckia, encore azaleas & beauty berry. Too cool & cloudy for butterflies again today but hoverflies & sluggish yellow jackets were on the flowers. North Georgia
A SuperMacro view of a female obelisking on a HOT afternoon (100o humitemp) at the wetlands yesterday. We were back today - more heat + more Halloween's. The Halloween's disappeared after a bad thunderstorm this month - but a few reappeared. North Georgia
Oh yeah, it's that stink bug again.... we were chatting for a while a few days ago... and no matter how small the little rascal was, it felt like it was constantly looking down on me.... well, not as a person then but as a human being... as a representative of the idiocy of evolution.. and/or the creator's bizarre humor... and once again it felt like we need to do more to care for our dear planet, our mother Gaia... and it feels like we're on the right track.. NOT!!
Think about how strangely unexpected encounters can make thoughts fly.... Show less
Straight from the camera except for a small crop, Canon Powershot S3 IS, hand held, can't remember what settings I used, but usually SuperMacro.... :-)
I think I must have been feeling very brave that day!!
I just noticed the glare at the top of the image... so I guess I really should have photoshopped after all... sigh. Maybe I'll do 'before' and 'after' shots... ;-)
I'm extremely tired tonight and going to be out tomorrow night, so please forgive me if I miss out on some visits. I'll catch up at the weekend though!!
I switched to SuperMacro to get a close shot of those eyes after she let me pull down the leaf she was on. They're often friendly - but just hard to find! Scarce so far after their numbers exploded a year ago during the drought.

Happy Dragonfly Thursday!
After the Stream cruiser finally flew, as I backed away to move on I turned and took one last look to see if it re-perched - and saw this lady CGD hanging a few feet from where the cruiser had been! We returned yesterday and things were much slower but I did get a foty Lancet clubtail eating a mystery bug - I'll post soon. Was able to get very close to the Cruiser and this CGD so shot in SuperMacro.
p.s. covered in pine pollen - I didn't even sharpen.
Stay well!
New lenses give creativity a boost that provides new insights that in themselves create curiosity which in itself results in a childlike desire to discover. ππ Cress flower..
A cucumber spider at its nest... or however it should be interpreted. The little spider has woven together a leaf in my lilac hedge and through it created a little home. Below the spider hidden in the tangle are what I understand to be its spider children that she (?) actively and tenderly protects. A diligent little rascal I must say... π

Yes, my slightly more morbid side is on display hereπ. Found this damn dead fly on a raspberry berry. The fly was stuck to the raspberry and had probably been dead for a few days, I guess, considering the condition of the body. When I turned the berry over, the fly's body was still there, so the two had become one, so to speakπ. I took the constellation into my macro sled and made a stack of 70 exposures. This is what it turned out like... π
Nature is capricious, I must say.. ππ

Supermacro with lenses screwed together: Canon EF 70-200 F/4L (on camera Canon 20D) and Soviet Industar 61LZ 50mm F/2.8 (screw backwards).

Back to my winter theme of posting dragonflies I've rarely if ever posted ... this is a Piedmont clubtail in South Carolina. One of the rarest clubtails I've ever seen - and we saw more than one that early April day (someone else captured & is holding this one - unharmed). I doubt I'll ever see one again unless we make it back over to South Carolina - much closer to the coast so different habitat than our mountainous & upper piedmont regions at home.
