Barn Swallow

I really like these birds!! the stalls and the aisle get a wee bit "dirty" while they are raising their young...the horses get a little dirty too! lol

But they are great bug eaters!!!

Raindrops are starting to be precious...

Goldenrod soldier beetles on a Black-eyed Susans Flowers

I just bought myself a Surface Pro 4 and tried tethered macro photography for the first time.

These aphids on the underside of an ornamental plant were all the wildlife I could find in our garden. In all seventeen images under artificial light, focus stacked using Helicon Focus 6. Hopefully I can find something more exotic as it gets warmer.

Everyone knows bugs are indestructible...I mean they can even thrive in Atomic Bomb testing sites. War needs solders who can be happy eating cat poop...

Yes it is just a bug, but I like the composition a lot

Red-bellied Woodpecker ready to pounce...

Common in my rear yard.

Dead Bugs bunch of old VW's waiting to be salvaged in this group shot in North Carolina.

A vintage automobile in the ghost town of Lake Valley has headlights like bug eyes. I bet this car was a beauty in its day!

I found this critter feeding on the Black-eyed Susans.

Our gardens are teeming with insect life if we just take the time to stop and observe...

Happy Labor Day everyone!

Jaya's Garden

The red bug was careless, it didn't notice the spider in time and it was running through the spider's back. The spider was angry, but it didn't want to catch the red bug :-)

Or maybe it wanted just scare the spider! ;-)

graphosoma lineatum

I managed to capture this image of a small brown thornbill yesterday.

It had been successfully busy catching bugs - it has quite a mouthful!!

Hope you like this.

Please comment, view or add to favorites, this or any of my other images - much appreciated!!

Hope you have a fantastic day and week!

Spotted in the fields beyond Captains Wood on my walk this morning.

Spined soldier bug (member of the stink bug family) sucking the life out of a black swallowtail caterpillar. This event took place on a dill plant that the caterpillar was feasting on.

Morning hoverfly.... happy Friday!!! I used to live next to 2 acre lot and I could go in there and get photos like this all the time. The lot now has a house on it and now it’s so much harder to find these opportunities. All of my photos are taken out side, found subjects in their natural habitat.
