It seems like ages since I've posted any macro. I've been playing around with some new lenses, but today I felt the need to go out and find some small friends, so on went the MP-E!
I found this small solitary bee wandering around on the patio floor. I think it had a damaged wing as it could only fly small distances before wandering around again. I placed my finger in front of it, and it quickly climbed up so I guess it must have been a bit cold.
It was happy to pose for a few photos, so I gave it some honey-water by way of payment before leaving it in a quiet corner.

West Virginia coal mining began in the mid-1800s, prior to the ratification of the state. By the early 1900s coal was dominating the American economy, powering industry, railroads, and streetcars across the nation, in addition to being a reliable source of heat and energy for many homes and businesses.
Victor is a statutory city in Teller County, Colorado, United States. Gold was discovered in Victor in the late 19th century, an omen of the future of the town. With Cripple Creek, the mining district became the second largest gold mining district in the country and realized approximately $10 billion of mined gold in 2010 dollars. It reached its peak around the turn of the century when there were about 18,000 residents in the town. Depleted ore in mines, labor strife and the exodus of miners during World War I caused a steep decline in the city's economy, from which it has never recovered. The population was 397 at the 2010 census. There is a resumed mining effort on Battle Mountain.
Victor was founded in 1891, shortly after Winfield Scott Stratton discovered gold nearby. The town was named after the Victor Mine,[7] which may have been named for an early settler, Victor Adams. In 1892 Harry, Frank and Warren Woods founded the Mt. Rosa Mining, Milling and Land Company.[8][nb 1] Battle Mountain, located just above Victor, had the largest, most prolific mines in the mining district and the town became known as the "City of Mines." Victor officially became a city on July 16, 1894.[8] In 1894 the Woods brothers discovered gold when they began digging the foundation for a building, which resulted in the creation of the Gold Coin Mine. At that time 8,000 people lived in Victor.[8

This miner has been mining without luck for 20 years. Little does he know, the gold is above his head.

Appearing to be the first parts of a planned community, these plots are likely small mines. They stretched out in all directions creating a kind of crooked lattice work. The black squares seems to be waste pools. Waste pools and piles from mining are blamed for poisoning water sources around the world, sometimes leading to birth defects and increased rates of cancer among local, often impoverished populations. Still, it is not completely clear to the photographer that these are in fact mines.
