As it started to rain, I thought to myself, “if he’s sticking around, then so am I.” As the rain drops started piling up on both of us, I managed to capture this pretty scene before the real deluge / began ! (Windsor, CT.)
A water drop cradled in a dandelion seed 1:1 macro
I managed to capture this small leaf bud just as the last remaining tiny section of ice was melting!
Enjoy!
I know I’ve got a lot of HDR and humor, but I do take some serious shots. / Sigma 150mm macro + Simga 2x TC / This little guy was super patient with me! Even after this he didn’t fly away.
This shot was taken in my backyard, just as this praying mantis was passing in front of a yellow mum !
Caught this guy hanging out on my backdoor screen!

This colorful creature with the bladder problem is a leafhopper!
Heres no. 3… Enjoy!
Neither the mantis nor myself were smart enough to come out of the rain, so we just hung out together until the brief sunshower passed us by !
A little abstract-ish macro.
Heres no. 2… Enjoy!

The stress is starting to clearly show on the face of Apollo 13 astronaut , Jim Lovell, as he desperately tries to maneuver the spacecraft back into earth orbit !
A single drop of water. So small and overlooked. Yet heavy enough to leave an impression on a delicate rose petal. Our massive ecosystem, a fragile element of everyday life.
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.
This yellow flower crab spider sits motionless on yellow flowers and then surprises it’s prey. Here, a helpless bee is easy pickens . The yellow flower crab spider blends in seemlessly in yellow flowers, and is practically invisible to the naked eye. I checked in on this guy all day. He sat patiently for 12 hours, until the moment was just right. He uses no webs-just camouflage and precision timing! / Nature is amazing!
