Enjoy your weekend, my Flickr friends!
Shot with a Tamron 90 mm f/2.8 macro plus 68 mm of tubes, lit with on-board flash fired through a pop-up diffuser.
9th February, 40/365
It has rained pretty non-stop today so to cheer myself up and add a splash of colour to an otherwise very grey day I have returned to the water drops this evening!
I'm please to see that the snow is coming down heavily again outside now though I'm not convinced that it'll stay this time...we shall see in the morning! :-)
18 spot ladybug on spirea. this particular plant was a dependable spot for tan colored ladybugs for almost a decade. In recent years I have not seen any, but keep looking for them there.
I know it's pink Tuesday but this one didn't quite fit the "hint of pink" theme... but I still think the tips of those petals have a hint of pink in them?? :-)) But I didn't add it to the group in case I was flaunting the theme rules :-))
Back in the bathroom for this shot :-) Natural light and tripod. I would always use a tripod when shooting macros indoors, sometimes without if I am outside in good light (as was the case with yesterday's shot).
Have a sunny day everyone !

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
A white legged snake millipede I think but can't quite see the telson in focus to confirm. Note the little mites on its body and legs too.
Single frame.
