#6 Insect

I'm not a fan of bugs or insects so this is pretty much the best I'm going to do for this topic.

Best large.

Darter in flight over our pond.

After watching the sun setting over liverpool Bay with Gormly' statues I turned to see this raptor hunting his dinner.

Hummingbird Clearwing Moth,...

The Osprey have drooping distal wings that allows them to get short-winged pulls out of the water and to hover.

They are a unique species in their own genus.

This guy evidently dove into some mud.

This is a hover fly, seen nice and close up, sat one evening on the edge of a holly leaf! It was almost dark so I had to use the ring-flash to illuminate the subject, but it seems to have come out OK.

Hover conversions for classic vehicles! Keep those old cars on the new roads with hover-drive retrofit kits from Sirius Cyberdine Industries! Don't be bound to the ground any longer! No more expensive tires! Greater comfort and ride-handling! Each kit is custom-designed for the classic auto of choice, and once prototyped, will be available in SCI inventory until all documented examples of that make/model are extinct. From cruisers, to sports cars, to utility vehicles, let SCI become your vendor of choice for updating your ride!

My first attempts at Macro

Away from the beach in Australia we cruised up the Sunshine Coast and into the hinterland. This was taken from a hotel balcony near Maleny and shows two of the 'Glasshouse Mountains', ancient volcanic plugs.

This bird (a falcon?) would be hovering over the valley directly opposite the hotel every morning and at dusk. This is the best shot I got of him.

The balletic movements of the Osprey as it hovers over a potential food site.

Down at Willband Creek Park this Osprey arrived to look for dinner. He was hovering over the pond watching the water.

Best viewed large. This was taken at 1/2000 second and the wings are still a blurr!

E. Forsythe NWR near Atlantic City, NJ. These terns can hover like a humming-bird while looking for fish prey, then dive and catch it. #6188

I finally got a photo of this funny little bee. It took me hours to finally get a clear shot. It's quite windy and my Macro Lens didn't like that.

It's a dirty job...
