I spotted these beautiful flowers whilst wandering around my neighbour's garden. I have never seen them there before and I am not sure of the name. Thank you Graham for the ID - JAPANESE ANEMONE.
... and eating as much as it can, is this 'banded woolly bear' caterpillar, scientifically known as the Pyrrharctia Isabella.
I remember catching these as a kid and keeping them in a mayonaise jar with holes poked in the lid, a few sticks and some grass and trying to keep them alive - a big adventure for a country boy.
If this larva survives the winter, the caterpillars become an Isabella Tiger Moth.
Folklore tells us that the relative amounts of brown and black on the skin of a woolly bear caterpillar (commonly abundant in the fall) are an indication of the severity of the coming winter. It is believed that if a woolly bear caterpillar's brown stripe is thick, the winter weather will be mild and if the brown stripes are narrow, the winter will be severe.
Yes we all have to eat and this little white crab spider is doing just that, poor little bee.

black-barred yellow ladybug with characteristic light reflection from the shiny curved wing coverings
Rose weevil on a rose leaf
note the nose is blurring toward the tip while the body is more in focus. This macro's depth of field (DOF) is very short and does not encompass the short length of the insect's body and relatively long snout
this is the real color.. not saturated... photoshop only for orientation and cropping into square format. (I take these shots with the onboard flash... upside down)
really in your face... View On Black

Way too windy outside to take photos of a dandelion, so I took the dandelion inside & used the natural light from a window to take the pic.
This pic was voted 1st in the Anything White competition in Any Photographs.
Thank you sweet Michelle in Ireland for the wonderful testimonial you wrote to me!

Con un semplice pannello nero dietro anche una piccola margheritina acquista una certa eleganza... ;-)

"Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks to another day of loving.
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;
To return home eventide with gratitude, and then sleep with a prayer
For the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips."

Outside in the backyard mixing composte for my flowers and plants, this Jumping Spider (Platycryptus Undatus) caught my attention with a Spidermite (Teranycchidae) in it's grasp, quickly I got my camera and took this Amazing capture, amazingly the spidermite got away from being Lunch.

This is what it feels like to be eaten by an alien plant ;-))
I'm still catching up slowly and many thanks getting my picture to the Front Page yesterday and a special thanks for everyone's best wishes.
Oh by the way this is a "Waxflower", they are mostly tiny, no more than than 1cm across often smaller.

There was a time when love
Was all that I could see,
Flirting around my ears
Breathing in front of me.
I could still remember
How it’d wake my mornings
Carry me through the days
And lay sweet come evenings.
Now all is but a memory..
A whisper of forgone summers..
A tinge of old romance..
Where only the past remembers...

Of course, nothing like this, just a couple of small keys on slate, light by a torch passed through the holes of a food cutter or food chopper. Simple as that.
In total five variants, 2 x as cut XPan with 65 x 24 as format, 2 x aperture 2.8 for a small depth of field , 1 x aperture 11 for a more clear picture.
And since this is photography job, two lenses as mechanical stop, to tilt the inlet of the food chopper, torch in magic arm mounted on a lamp stand. Camera on tripod with a ball had and on top a Leo photo G2 geared panning clamp. Why two heads instead one geared head. Try to adjust for more then 15 to 30 degree in any direction, and then change, this is your answer.
