First two georgious. Looks like an inner glow.
How did you light them. It gives me the idea of trying to backlight to use the translucent nature of flowers to a photographic advantage.

These are varied shots of the same sprig of miniature mums. I just used different crops, backgrounds and processing to vary the look. Little projects like this are keeping me entertained during a kitchen remodel which is anything but entertaining!
Can almost smell them.

It's a shame that lenses no longer come in sturdy cases. DIY is one possibility.

Thanks for that tip to the OP. The Orion hard case looks to be a good idea. A good car case.
How many need at least two besides me too?

I have a Lexar 64gb and need another one. I can't find one and if I do they are discontinued. Please point me in the right direction.
Many thanks,

Many thanks,

Out of curiosity I looked. Google used chips. There are New Lexar chips as you seek from just under 100$ to over 200$.
Good luck.

That fly looks a lot like this....https://bugguide.net/node/view/92199/bgimage I have some images of them as well. They are plentiful around here and seem to like to hang out on the undersides of leaves. The ones I've seen are darker though...
I bow to that. Thank you

Get a Bluetooth clicker. It will trigger the cell camera without the awkwardness . Next is a 'selfie' stick to make holding easier. Add some auxiliary lenses and you can do some beautiful work.
There is even a 5000 mm lens for one. Not bad, but get a tripod. Carry a fraction of the weight of conventional gear. And free GPS. I use mine for documentation with a quick shot with each for reference.
And price, again, a fraction of conventional gear. Many free APS for PP.
Just plusses, not favoritism.

I will send to you the camera to male adapters if you send me your filters size in mm. Three dollars each and no shipping. And only a few day delivery lag. No slow boat from China. RSVP private if interested.
Reversed lenses work well.

I owe you and the other thumbs up to your post an apology. I do so now. Rather than making a dispariging comment aimed at you I should have explained my intent. Bill Gordon recognized my intent. Thanks, Bill. So again, I apologize.

also a little beetle on my house and spider in the brush
The mark on the spider looks like a moth. The beetle is a 'click' beetle. Now the fly. I believe for every, oops, flashback. I believe it to be in the family Empididae. Dance flys. The antenna, the general body shape, the beak, (predacious), and it is halterate.
The dance flies are named for the large nuptial swarms where they ' dance'. They often emerge en másse.
This one is probably a female. Males have bizarre copulatory organs. Low dense, damp foliage is the habitat.
There will be a quiz😀.

So, a bee or not a bee. That is the question?🤒
Thank you for that opportunity.

I appreciate learning the correct terms for wildlife or just about anything else that is relevant to the topic. There is no need to call someone a "grammar nazi", which merely displays a contempt for learning, which is the fundamental premise of The Ugly Hedgehog.
Thank you. I have given up commenting to the terminally ignorant.
