Welcome to another adventure into my amateur macro photography!
At least once a week I try to grab my lens set, strap it onto the phone, and wander around the yard like a crazy person trying to capture images of things that move a lot faster than I do.
Each image taken is usually punctuated by my colorful swearing and/or mumbling like a woman driven mad.
Some of them come out pretty decent, though.
Sometimes I walk outside and there is a picture waiting to happen already laid out in front of me.
Like this frog that decided to take a little siesta in a red lily.
He makes it look more comfortable than a flower has any right being.
And then we have Stanley the Io caterpillar!
You might have seen @sammosk's post about the capture and release of this stunning little guy. Also, perhaps the video I shared of him shaking off some water!
Well, I did take a couple still images while I had him close!
He was a grumpy little bugger.
The raindrops in question!
Of course, with every good photo there are a million and a half outtakes. This is one of them. However, I prefer to think that the main focus of this shot was the wings.
Which are very spectacular to look at.
Definitely lives up to the name of "long-legged fly"!
You can never go wrong with a frog perched in the sun.
On a moldy, mossy piece of wood.
But he was kind of camera shy. I think it adds an air of mystery. What do you think?
What is he thinking about? Frog stuff, I would venture to guess.
And in nature, you always need a little creepy to balance everything out.
I decided to get a nice, grimy shot of the inside of a cicada molting.
Buuuuh. This one always gives me the heebie-jeebies whenever I've looked at it.
But don't worry! I have the perfect thing to help you recover!
A baby duckling grabbing some nommy noms from my hand!
He jumps an incredible distance when tempted by treats! The dad won't eat from our hands... yet.
Well, that's all I have for today!
But keep an eye on my twitch channel! I will probably be streaming some gameplay later and have my microphone on so you can hear me blunder and fail my way through!
(Feel free to have a laugh at my expense, I DO!)
