The Robber Fly is one of my favorite macro subjects. They have so much character. Very interesting to study as well. They actually catch their prey in mid air. This particular robber was only about 3/4 inch long. His meal was exceptionally small. I didn’t know he had until I looked through the lens.

butterfly caught on a flower in the sun. They move around quite fast and I only like photographing them in the wild, so I was lucky to get him like this. It is supporting for me to think that we can reach out to the good things in life in a strong way although we are fragile and small.

Oil Pastel and Acrylic Ophelia dreamed she was on a journey to a foreign land. In that land, she encountered an exotic purple flower with 3 petals. Though strange in appearance,it had the most calming and relaxing scent Ophelia has ever known. Ophelia was most reluctant to leave this flower and its’ scent when she knew her dream odyssey had to come to an end soon. However, all endings are simply preludes to new beginnings :D / / View other “Dream Odyssey” creations in my Zazzle store: / / /

Ophelia received an invitation from the riverside frangipanis to join them in a party. Upon reaching, she was surprised to find out that the frangipanis had thrown a party just for her, to celebrate these new friendship ties. They never had an owl as a friend and they were just as delighted as Ophelia to have found this new companionship. What hospitable flowers! Ophelia had never felt so loved before. “I certainly hope I get invited again!” Ophelia secretly wished ;D / / / You can view and buy my other “Frangipani Party” creations from my Zazzle Gallery: / /

Ophelia lies down together with these yellow ladies, which she imagines to be twinkling little stars and she,suspending in the dark skies with them. “Oh, I wish I could fly to the moon and kiss the stars goodnight before I sleep every night!” She hooted excitedly to the yellow ladies :D / / / You can view and buy my other “Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars” creations from my Zazzle Gallery: /

Oil Pastel and Acrylic on old wood with slight digital enhancements Ophelia, puzzled by the radical transformation that had taken place overnight to this butterfly friend of hers, thought to herself, “She was in a white thread-like casing yesterday, how did all that happen so fast? There must be something magical about that case!” This is inspired by a book Hope For The Flowers by Trina Paulus. This is a cute and yet thought provoking story about two caterpillars who because they mistake the meaning of their urge to get high, get entangled climbing a horrible “caterpillar pillar”. And for two caterpillars, we all know, surrendering to the cocoon is the only way to finally fly. Hope For the Flowers is a book that celebrates HOPE. My fave lines from the book is “How does one become a butterfly?” She asked pensively. “You must want to fly so much that you are willing to give up being a caterpillar.” We are all meant to be as beautiful and free like the butterflies, that’s our destiny…as we free ourselves to be who we really are…and together with our innate talents,we bring hope to the world around us, bringing change inevitably around us :D / You can view and buy my other “Metamorphosis” creations from my Zazzle Gallery:

I hope you enjoy this pretty little butterfly that I took in my garden this past summer :) He didn’t seem to mind me poking around with my camera… I was glad of the opportunity! He didn’t stay long but I managed to get a few good shots! I adore the markings and colourings of his wings! Isn’t that red/orange colour just stunning! I’m very proud of this photo, I really love how it turned out. Looking back and my gallery from beginning to now, I can truly see how I have grown as a photographer and this fact makes me very happy and accomplished :heart: Certainly I have a long way to go yet, but the nice thing about this hobby is that I am very passionate about it. Hopefully some day I can do something more with photography. That’ll be so amazing! Thanks to the investigative brilliance of a friend, I’ve found out the name of this pretty butterfly! It is called “American Lady – Vanessa virginiensis” They seem to be common to New England, though I am guessing generally on the East coast (since I’m in Virginia ^^;) and are under the category of “Anglewings” Camera: Taken with a Canon Rebel XTi / Cropping, small hue/tint adjustments + Sig: Adobe Photoshop CS2 © SilverDew All comments are welcomed and appreciated.

There is an ancient Chinese saying that goes like this: If there is light in the soul, / There will be beauty in the person. / If there is beauty in the person, / There will be harmony in the house. / If there is harmony in the house, / There will be order in the nation. / If there is order in the nation, / There will be peace in the world. / —Chinese Proverb You can view and buy my other “Light In The Soul” creations from my Zazzle Gallery:

Canon 40D with 300mm just in time to capture this lovely little thing on my Agave in my backyard. Dragonfly life cycle / Female dragonfly lay eggs in or near water, often on floating or emergent plants. When laying eggs, some species will submerge themselves completely in order to lay their eggs on a good surface. The eggs then hatch into nymphs. Most of a dragonfly’s life is spent in the naiad (that is, nymph) form, beneath the water’s surface, using extendable jaws to catch other invertebrates or even vertebrates such as tadpoles, fish, etc. They breathe through gills in their rectum, and can rapidly propel themselves by suddenly expelling water through the anus. In flight the adult dragonfly can propel itself in six directions; upward, downward, forward, back, and side to side. Some nymphs even hunt on land, an aptitude which could easily have been more common in ancient times when terrestrial predators were clumsier. The larval stage of large dragonflies may last as long as five years. In smaller species, this stage may last between two months and three years. When the larva is ready to metamorphose into an adult, it climbs up a reed or other emergent plant. Exposure to air causes the larvae to begin breathing. The skin splits at a weak spot behind the head and the adult dragonfly crawls out of its old larval skin, pumps up its wings, and flies off to feed on midges and flies. The adult stage of larger species of dragonfly can last as long as five or six months. /

I got carried away tonight when I should have been doing other things (so, what’s new!!) and this is the result. Dedicated to my gorgeous granddaughters Meg and Zoe who found this large bug-eaten leaf in my backyard. The appearance of spun gold is actually how the camera picked this up (on opaque perspex background). Text© 2009 Rosalie Dale Landscapes Trees Cards EOD Rusty Flowers Architecture Macro CatchAll DM
