Lori, I totally understand about that work thing. I've worked 16 days straight, with no time off for my favorite photography past time. Thank goodness, there's only 2 days left in this week. I refuse to work this weekend! I'm just too old for all work and no play time.
This is the year of the Cicada here in Southeast Kansas. The song of the Cicada is deafening in the late afternoon and evening. Even driving down the highway, past trees and pastures, the sound is deafening.


It sure sounds like you have some long overdue time off, that is a lot of hours.
Love the eyes on the Cicada, I guess folks in Southeast Kansas have to wear ear plugs this time of the year.
It really amazes me to see what spiders think they can try and take down. Glad he didn't succeed.

Thanks.... In my excitement over the challenge I failed to comment on the wonderful set you started us with. That first shot is truly marvelous! It lifts the spirit with the light and How vast that flower must look to the bee!


Thank you so much. I like to grow a variety of different size sunflowers every year for the birds and bugs to enjoy. Yes the bee sure did like tiny on the large plate size sunflower.

A few from archives....I will search tomorrow :-)

It amazed me that all three were the same color! They matched the plant!


How beautiful. You know the bugs did that on purpose so you could get some great shots of them blending in with same color flowers. ;-) :thumbup:

Welcome to the next challenge which is Bees, Bugs and Butterflies.

I am sure we all have some types of bugs around the house either beautiful or annoying.

If you are like me and don't have a macro lens then you can still take some really good photo's of these tiny creatures.

I have included some links to help us out. Have fun and can't wait to see all the beautiful and not so beautiful Bees, Bugs and Butterflies.

This first link is for most of us that do not have a macro lens.

And for you lucky one's that do have a macro lens, then here is a link for you.
