Our daughter Marie-France just finished her third year in Zoology at Guelph University and is visiting us for a week before she goes back for summer employment. On Sunday we explored Cooper Marsh Conservation Area. Marie-France brought her bug collecting kit and was successful in collecting a few specimens. The outing also gave me a chance to try out a Lecia M10 that my good friend Perry McKenna lent me for a few weeks.

Decided to go out in the yard and see if this was possible.
Front yard, Bernardsville, NJ
My favorite weather
Has come out today
It begged me
To come out to play
Please don't bug me
Please go away
I have a date
With a beautiful day.
I was testing my latest home-made softbox and overdid the rim lighting (I'm trying to come up with a way of not having to lug lots of supporting equipment for the flashes around). I rather like the end result though, even if there isn't much detail in the insect's face. This guy was very tiny - his head was about 1mm wide. I chased him around his leaf holding the camera in one hand and a 430EX flashgun in the other.

The goggles caught the flash from the strobe at just the right angle to make this crazy glow from her eyes. The water in the pool had started to become clouded with ash from the wild fires that are burning this week.
Not sure what sort of little guy this is but I think he is one of several kinds of tent caterpillars. Their tents are all over the place.

This was inspired by an ultra cute mini bento ring posted by FromJapanWithLove.
I made this for fun because I love the minis, and I found that I happened to have all the ingredients to make a real size one (well, kind of) !
This bug is being bugged (by me). I'm trying to hold the camera still but I guess my hands were shaking bad, thus, it's not that good of a macro shot.
