Queensnake - Regina septemvittata
This section of the Eno River is a good place to find these, as their crayfish prey is abundant.
I paid dearly for this photo--wading through the river I slipped and came down hard on one knee, splitting it and requiring several stitches. I guess it was worth it!
Reprocessed version of an image posted back at the time. Some specular highlights in the background were blurred or cloned out. Happy Snake Week!

Sierra Nevada Mountains, California.
They have a roughly 1400m long, and 300m width hybrid zone in this particular area, with true pure hybrid/intergrade being exceptionally rare.
My entry for the recent online Weekly Photography Mini Competition. The theme this particular week was "Hobbies / Pastimes"
This is a re-working of an old image, but this is the first time it has appeared here in it's full view. Others have been tightly cropped.
I spotted this lovely lady in the grounds, sitting on a bench, at the rear of Tewkesbury Abbey.
She was totally engrossed in her book ... which was BTW ... 'A Metropolitan Murder' by Lee Jackson.
Oh ... P.S.
I didn't win this round.
Whilst I had the macro set up on the camera I photographed these little life forms on old wood in the Wildlife Café. Thanks to Andrea Ross for the identification. They are about 3mm wide.
Wikipedia:
Lycogala epidendrum, commonly known as wolf's milk, groening's slime is a cosmopolitan species of myxogastrid amoeba which is often mistaken for a fungus. The aethalia, or fruiting bodies, occur either scattered or in groups on damp rotten wood, especially on large logs, from June to November. These aethalia are small, pink to brown cushion-like globs. They may excrete a pink paste if the outer wall is broken before maturity. When mature, the colour tends to become more brownish. When not fruiting, single celled individuals move about as very small, red amoeba-like organisms called plasmodia, masses of protoplasm that engulf bacteria, fungal and plant spores, protozoa, and particles of non-living organic matter through phagocytosis.
There, now you know.
I was photographing the wildflowers on a bank a few yards from my home and included in the images are some of the tiny speedwells which grow there. When I started processing I found one appeared to have a couple of tiny eggs on a petal. If you know how small speedwells are then you can guess just how small the eggs are. I didn't even spot them with the naked eye. I wonder if anyone has any idea what may have laid them?
UPDATE: Thanks to my Flickr friend 'rockwolf' she thinks they are likely to be Syrphidae (hoverfly) eggs
The image will enlarge slightly for more detail
Another from my frosty collection this morning! I spent an hour laying on the frozen grass with a tripod, remote release, Tammy 90mm, flash triggers and SB700 (flashgun). If I was cold i didn't notice. I took a batch of 155 frames in the space of an hour which felt more like 5 minutes :-)
Was very happy with this one.
Slid a bit on the exposure to get the droplets nice! HSS
Strobist: camera mounted on tripod with Tamron 90mm very close to subject, lens pretty much at closest focus. Hand-held SB700 set to 1/64th power and held very close to both lens and subject and in a variety of different positions, this looks to be directly above. Flash triggered by rf603s and remote release yn126
I was photographing a very dark Trichopoda fly (adjacent frame) when it was mounted by the individual with a bright orange abdomen--this frame. So I am presuming they are female and male of the same species. What that species is, I am not sure. Perhaps Trichopoda pennipes, but it seems only a few species in this genus are readily separable from photographs.
At any rate, HFDF!
I recently purchased a NiSi 43mm Close Up lens, which screws into the filter thread on my macro lens. The depth of field is insanely thin but it does allow you to photograph small things in more detail than normal. I couldn't really see any details with the naked eye, but this little fly(?) was only 2mm long on a photinia leaf. This was handheld, but I think the result would be better with the camera on a tripod and the image photo stacked but it was a bit too breezy for that today. I think I may need a bit more practice, but it's fun trying.
Miden pocos milímetros, pero me parecen espectaculares y hasta graciosas. Estas pequeñajas son auténticas máquinas de caza sin telaraña, saltan sobre su presa.
Mesuren pocs mil·límetres, però em semblen espectaculars i fins a gracioses. Aquestes menudetes són autèntiques màquines de caça sense teranyina, salten sobre la seua presa.
They measure a few millimeters, but I find them spectacular and even funny. These little ones are real hunting machines without a web, they jump on their prey.
