Dirty Bee

Day 319: Swallowtail

I took this with the Tele Macro.  Much easier to take than trying to get an inch away from it.  Playing with toys is fun.

Day 298: Lantana

Day 271: Praying Mantis

The problems with taking pictures of insects is that they don't take direction.  I have to be honest - I didn't work that hard at taking a picture today.  I was doing some laundry and one item didn't get all the way dry so I decided to use the "solar dryer" outside to finish it up and within 5 minutes this sucker had decided it was his shirt & not mine.  Well, I showed him....his mug shot is now plastered on the internet.

Day 266: Longhorn beetle

I know that today's theme was Fog, but I didn't experience any fog, except when my lens fogged up due to the humidity while trying to take this picture.  UGH!  And a quick shout out to my dad, who noticed the bug.

Day 262: Taking a break

There could be no other reason for a bee to be sitting on an evergreen with absolutely no flowering anything except to take a break or escape from a very annoying co-worker (do I know that one) but either way its a break.

Day 260: Bumble Bee

They boys and I went to the Dallas Arboretum today.  I was amazed at the amount of pollen this bee was carrying around and even more amazed that it allowed me to get so close.

Even more amazing:  My 7 year photos.  Check them out.
