This is a male Red Mason Bee. I watched a female build nests in the same tree, so I'll see her offspring next year.
Tech Specs: Canon 70D (F16, 1/250, ISO 100) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (about 1.5x) + a diffused MT-24EX (-2/3 FEC). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held.
Technique: I had to camp out in front of this tree, early in the morning, for quite some time before the little guy got use to me and the camera. We played a lot of "Bee-Ka-Boo".
Sweltering hot Sunday afternoon. Invitation ( very welcome! ) to Art & Garden at this amazing sprawling "thinking-out-the-box" garden cum river cum forest. That's where the "buts" come in. The world and his wife all liked the idea, too. Lovely sleepy tucked-away village..so nowhere to park. Managed it eventually. Longish walk. Ok going hill but not so good trekking back up. Wandering and chatting was a joy..plants for sale..painted silk acrves, jewellery, sculpture..tea and cakes.. and further out..a rope bridge across the river and long snaking steel steps and rails zig zagging up high bankings taking me out of the sunlight into high rise dappled woodland..and ..whoaaa, suddenly, as the path lightened..this fantastic tree house, weathered and "right" amongst the trees. How could I not stop and draw. Total peace at the start..then zillions of equally eye-dazzled familes oohing and aaahing and banging into me as I blocked their path. Gave up at the end..but was very happy!!!
Our house in the snow. We lost some major limbs from the live oak on the left. It used to be much taller, but at least it survived, and didn't bring the porch crashing down!
A pair of CP Managers I mean Canadian Geese watch as the Nitrin job works its way south down the river as it passes the beautiful Empire Park just south of Hampton.
They are just cardboard houses that we painted and glittered and put fake snow on. Then we added the trees and wreaths. Also known as Putz houses.
Spruce Tree House is the third-largest cliff dwelling in Mesa Verde National Park, and the first seen by most visitors because of its location near park headquarters. Built by Ancestral Puebloans in the 1200s, the 114-room dwelling was rediscovered by rancher Richard Wetherill and Charles Mason in December 1888.
Black Bears have great paw dexterity with their front feet, allowing them to be firm and gentle. Their powerful hind legs add to their speed and climbing strength and they have excellent balance, a trait they have learned as cubs. Bears climb trees for safety, to rob beehives, to look around, to take a nap or just for the sake of it. They make their way up the tree in a spiral motion before descending bum first until their bottoms make contact with the forest floor - before letting go of the trunk.

I promised to create a bigger version of the Tree House following your votes a few days ago. I've done exactly that! I've really enjoyed designing this microscale build. I've never created a build with this theme before. It was a lot of fun.
I started by creating the tree on the left, with many details on the trunk and the leafs.
🗻Then, I decided to add a mountain in the background to give more perspective.
After that, I thought it would be nice to add a small bridge, and a cascade with a river underneath, to connect the two trees together.
To finish, I built the tree on the right to extend the village and added more houses, a temple at the top, a watermill and a small boat at the bottom.
So... I've been wanting to do some crazy flowers lately! I'm having trouble picking my favorite between the pink/red/green one and the black/blue one!
Ideally, the tree leaves would have been green and trans-green, but unfortunately I don't have nearly enough of those colors. However, it didn't turn out too poorly!
Also, the brickbending technique worked really nicely here; the vegetation was easy to fit!
And... there's only one thing worse than stacking 1x1 rounds - unstacking them.
