A bronzed tiger beetle was nice enough to hold still for longer than a millisecond for me. There were beetles everywhere, but It was cold and very windy. They didn't like us coming close, and when they lifted off to escape, the wind really helped their flight!

Shell, Wyoming; the old one-room school was used until sometime in the 1980's. It's now an office for a local consulting firm.
I made this a almost a year ago for a "Star" theme but never posted it. It's a composite of a starfish shell and the rings from my "Log" sculpture of sorts that I used this past week for the Macro Mondays group. With "Shell" as the theme this week for the Smile On Saturday group it gets another chance. I hope it makes you smile.

The left shell is fresh and I brought it home from a Japanese meal in Kyoto. It is called Abalone or Awabi (Japanese) and is pearl inside with a row of (at least 9) perforations. It is rather light in weight. The right shell is pertrified and very old, I found it at a beach in France. I have no idea what exactly it is, but it could be an oyster type of shell. It is the perfect intermediate between a shell and a stone and rather heavy. The photo gives a reliable impression of the two very different textures of these shells.
Yesterday we went to Sandspit Point, Bellambi, a beach which we had never visited before.
These snails were around 2.5-3 cm wide.
I love spending time at the beach and by the ocean. It's always been my favourite place to escape to. There's nothing quite so calming as listening to the sound of the ocean, smelling the fresh sea air, feeling the sand beneath my bare feet or going for a swim in the sea. So naturally when it comes to photography I'm drawn to the beach and the ocean.
This was taken at CY O'Connor Beach in North Coogee, Perth. I went specifically to photograph an old jetty and what remains of an old shipwreck. But this little seashell is my favourite image from that little trip. I love its beautiful pattern, and how the little grains of sand have stuck to the shell.
I haven't done much macro photography, but it's a type of photography I'm really interested in. I'm hoping to add a macro lens to my kit soon. Hopefully that will allow me to take better macro shots. But I'm really pleased with how this has turned out.
Detail of tile in an arched doorway in the St. Louis Union Station Hotel. Union Station was designed by Theodore Link and opened in 1894. The station was converted into a hotel (now a Hilton) in the 1980s.
Was hunting through my archives for something different & found these manipulations.....the arty side in me!
The photo was taken with my 9500 in 2007. I started off with an Orb and changed to an oblong, thought it had a greater effect of patterns & detail.
This is the first in my new series of images from the German North Sea island Sylt. When I was there last summer, I was constantly taking photos, even when I was relaxing on the beach.
I am still in holiday mode, so I don't comment as much as I usually do. Please bear with me. Things will go back to normal next week.
Enjoy!

DJZ_6588-Edit-2: Shell Canyon is on the western side of the Bighorn Mountains. In this image, you see Hwy US14 going down. I'm on my way down the canyon heading toward the section of US14 that's between Wapiti, and the eastern entrance of Yellowstone NP.
The morning sunlight is just beginning to hit the upper part of this image.
I love the colours of these mussel shells - if they weren't occupied I would have liked to re-home them to my place.
