well its a true saying an’t it?
My friend Kenrick Rampial gave me permission to draw this from a photo he has on his profile page i saw it and just wanted to draw it…..........So if any of you out there have any requests let me know i do normally only draw animals though but hey what you think?
Saw this little “hairy’ grub…..thought I’d give him some company…so cloned a few more!!
A completely opportunistic shot. My husband Nick and I were picnicking in a beautiful leafy little valley in the Brenta Dolomites of northern Italy, when Nick spotted this. It appears to be a solitary wasp of sorts, sitting on a fist-sized comb and she is feeding and tending to her larvae which you can actually see in the cells. As with many macros, I couldn’t appreciate what was going on until I processed the image. Ain’t nature wonderful?! ;o)

...and THIS is why i don’t get anything finished!!!! i’m in the middle of grouting/sealing the tiles in the bathroom.. and put some rubbish out in the bin… happened to walk past my 6’ ginormous potted tomato plant growing like something out of Day of the Triffids…and spied this little guy feasting on a tiny little new tomato (no bigger than a pea)!!!! ....and ‘faint’ and ‘gasp’ ... i manually focused!!!!

Witchetty grubs are fatening

Tucker tucks into the grub on a windy day. This is the man of the house. He and his Mrs. had 6 strapping youngsters, and it was great fun to watch them play on the tree and under it. Captured with Olympus E-500, (All settings Auto: Lazy me), with Olympus 140-600 lens @ 600. Photographed through my back window.

The Eastern bluebirds are amazing me this mating season. They are into nest number FOUR! They usually have three a season, but one of their broods met with foul play so I suppose they’re making up for it with an extra long summer of child rearing! The middle of August is extremely hot in southern Louisiana, so these little troopers are really looking ragged from all the hunting and delivering of goods to the nesting box. Here’s one of the pair, I think the female, with a grub worm for the nestlings. For some reason, their plumage is not as brilliant as in years past so it’s kind of hard to tell the male from the female as they are both looking pretty washed out! Can’t blame them with all that flurry of activity in this hot, humid climate. Eastern bluebird is officially sialia sialis; they are cavity dwellers. Their numbers were dangerously reduced due to clearing of woods and thickets for development. Thanks to the American Bluebird Society and the introduction of nesting boxes, they have made a wonderful comeback. The bluebirds have been nesting in my yard for over ten years now, and I love them dearly. They make excellent neighbors! They first started in a box well away from my house, but they have taken a liking to one right on my patio, so our encounters are frequent and close-up!
