Megacerus discoidus bug on morning glory. I usually hide the urban surroundings of my photo site area by cropping out the man made objects. I could have done so in this photo, but thought I would give a peek at where I get a lot of my shots. This one was taken in the back of an auto repair station where morning glories regale the chain link fence. In the right background is a truck in the parking lot behind the shop.
Prachuap Khiri Khan, Thailand--Never had gotten a good look at these hover fly's mouth parts. The proboscis really stretches out so it can reach the nectar deep in flowers. Used Canon 100L IS lens with 25mm ext tube.
Two Southern Hawkers (Aeshna cyanea)/ Blue Darners.
I was so glad I caught them, even when making out they're fast...;)
water droplet with reflection (and refraction) in a yellow rose. the circle in the middle of the droplet is probably my camera lens and what looks like solar flares around it is probably cloud formations behind me. the droplet sat on a petal where it formed a ridge. I only took about three or four shots before the lens touched the droplet and the scene was gone.
This waterdrop was hanging about 1.5 meters above me inside the Cool House. Thou I was using my Sigma 150 mm, there was no way I could get it closer to full my frame. Guess it’s my beginner’s luck to get it this sharp and clear :)
The refraction inside the waterdrop is actually the Cool House itself. The blue color is the top glass ceiling roof against the blue sky.

For Rita, who had to go~I'm Happy, but do love this Song~
I get along without you very well.
I've forgotten you just like i should,
Of course i have,
Except to hear your name,
Or someone's laugh that is the same,
But i've forgotten you just like i should.
What a guy, what a fool am i,
To think my breaking heart could kid the moon.
What's in store? should i phone once more?
No, it's best that i stick to my tune.
I get along without you very well,
Of course i do,
Except perhaps in spring,
But i should never think of spring,
For that would surely break my heart in two.

Not Photoshoped, Only Frame
Michigan has been in Rain mode, haven't had a sunny day to take anything as of yet.
...I know this is Friday Night Photos of Love, but I had to throw some humor in tonight. I am sorry for posting and running this week...very busy, but there were three special birthdays this week. My deepest thanks to those that still visited my pics, even though I wasn't around.
...I hope you're enjoying a romantic evening with the one you love, my friends, and I hope you're enjoying it with a little humor, a little fun.
