Poor image but good story. Remember the image of the Robber Fly killing and eating the Yellow Jacket? Now here it is in a spider's web. A predator falling victim to another predator. Now I have to be on the lookout for a Yellow Jacket eating the spider. I don't know if that ever happens.
The marshes, ponds, streams were the home of many, many alligators, was left wondering betimes as to how the newly born birds would ever survive. A hot day, the alligators lie around with mouth open to cool off...
Alien nightmares are made of this…
… though they are nice to eat too. :)
Recently I have been playing a bit with my Carl Zeiss Flektogon vintage lens. This image was taken during a visit to the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) garden at Wisley. Wisley is one of the largest of their sites and is full of interesting plants all neatly labelled and planted in acres of crafted garden. You can wander for days, especially if you have a camera and a macro lens…
This is an artichoke from the vegetable patch. It looks really villainous if you get up close and crop out the context. Tastes lovely though ;)
For the Macro Wednesday group.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Mittwochsmakro :)

Developed in Capture One for colour and soft detail.
Processed in Affinity with a square crop, High Pass/Linear Light blend and USM sharpening and a strong, but soft, dark vignette. Curves adjustment in LAB mode both to enhance the colour contrast and to control the tones; reduced saturation in an HSL adjustment and changed the hue of the reds to something warmer for better colour matching.]

As the Pacific salmon migrate from the sea up to their spawning grounds on rivers (where they die after spawning) they encounter apex predators such as grizzly bears, wolves and eagles. The salmon provide a valuable source of nutrition to the predators that help them survive lean winters. Cariboo Chilcotin, BC.

We just returned from 10 days on an icebreaker, the Origo, leaving Longyearbyen in the Svalbard Archipelago, Norway. It took us 2 days cruising to reach the ice. Fortunately, there we saw 4 polar bears--a female with 3 cubs, which is unusual. During the trip we saw a total of 12 polar bears, 5 of which were in photo distance. It was quite an experience to have respectful encounters with a mammal this large and realize that I was not the top of the food chain. This shot was taken from the Origo, others to come, from a zodiac. I want to thank Fllickr friends Ann Silvestre, and Mario Nonaka, for valuable information that helped us prepare for this amazing Arctic photo expedition.
