Male sweat bee, Lasioglossum sp. Focus stacked using zerene

Still plenty for me to learn regarding the macro world. So much colour, pattern and beauty. Then there is the ID of plant and insects but I'm have fun working on that.

Made Explore 1st Feb 2013

Taken using a Raynox DCR-150 macro lens.

Had a mild frost this morning so had a look for some frozen dewdrops on the grass.

TALKING TO THE DRAGONFLY

I spoke to the dragonfly

In the warm summer sunshine

It looked at me with its eyes

Telling me tale of its life

From the waters it so came

Not to return again

Only to renew some more

Then it would shortly die

With memory of beauty

Flash of rich colour and speed .

Dragonfly –one of a swarm –hunting gnats , one afternoon , on my field.

THE COMMON DARTER

(Sympetrum Striolatum) is the most common dragonfly in the UK. Found throughout the UK (And most of Europe) from June to August, usually near still waters, but also on garden ponds and sometimes away from water completely, usually in woodland glades.

Legs are very dark and have a yellow stripe, and head has a black band. Females are orangey-brown

Or, when you found a macro lens. I drank my coffee and looked at this flower when I remember I have a Tamron macro lens 1:1.
