"Everyone is a genius at least once a year. The real geniuses simply have their bright ideas closer together." - Georg C. Lichtenberg

It's not easy to see, but there are four bugs gathered on the petals of this flower; I imagine they were discussing politics, or where to go to lunch. Maybe they were just gossiping about Sally in accounting. They wouldn't let me in on the conversation, so I really couldn't say with much authority and am completely speculating.
Hope everyone has had a good day.

Yesterday when I was watching TV, my kid came and told she wanted to show me something. Then she switched off all the lights and changed the TV channel to video mode and held this bugs bunny pillow. I was lucky to capture it immediately using the retro camera.

The bull is up unable to stand the constant biting and buzzing of the bugs any longer. He soon rolled in his dusty wallow again to help fend them off. But this only does so for a short time. Danged bugs.....
Caught this little one yesterday morning, Cant resist a pic of the Lady Bug. Messing with Extension tubes and a ring flash..
Yeah, couldn't see but glimpses of the eclipse due to intermittent cloud cover, but we did see this enormous bug. And I got close enough to shoot it. I'm still shocked by that particular detail. ;)
Something a little different.. This was made with a new Action from PanosFX.. He does very nice Actions and at a reasonable price too...
Happy silver wedding anniversary to Zenas M

(and a nod to yesterday's theme which I couldn't play; I found Bugs in a skip today; I don't own a teddy bear...)

The Volkswagen Bug is rarely seen these days. When I was young you could hardly go anywhere and not see one.
