p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Another Garden Safari with almost a Yellow theme


Still playing in the garden, my source of subjects , delight and dismay at times.

The fourth shot has a story with it. This lovely little damselfly was quite curious about me as I was about it.
As I was laying in the grass shooting it head on , much to my horror and dismay a Dragonfly flew in and hit it. It was so quick, all I saw out of the corner of my eye was the lovely damsel fall off the stalk of grass , bent in two. The dragonfly then hovered over me , like get out of my way, I want my lunch. I must say I wondered if the damsel being so focused on me , and not its surrounding led to its death. Very upsetting to think I might have been responsible .

Thank you for looking and I hope you find something you like.

Birdie

When you post these pictures birdie, I feel what am I doing with my 90mm macro lens. These are astounding shots.

Birdie, your garden safari images are superb! I like them all but the lady bug and damsel images are extra sweet.

Great variety, as usual, Birdie. Damselflies are a regular part of Dragonflies' diets.

Interesting video with lame comedy remarks:

These are a delight to view Roberta. You have been doing this for a very long time. Do you have a good idea what you will see before you put the camera to your eye or do you have to look through it to see the magic you create?

All are beautiful shots. As I'm partial to odonata, I find your damselfly portraits truly impressive. TFS.

Lovely lighting on your Lady Bug images Birdie.
Damsels all eyes are cool shots!
Quite the colorful spider too

Please tell Douter there are no Japanese Beetles here
Do you guys get the Asian Beetle the one that looks like the Lady Bug? They aren't so nice!

Great set, in your own little world of delight

Thanks so much Douglas. I think these are ladybugs. If my understanding is correct, , which it may not be, the Japanese / Asian beetles have a very distinct “M” shaped white spot .

See below for differences between them

Thanks Tony . I have actually seen a damsel eat another damsel as well as a dragon eat another dragon. Appreciate the video as well. I found some of his commentary humorous

I went from macro to birds, but still dabble in the small world.

While I have an idea of what I should see , I still have to look through the viewfinder. When so close to subject, with such a limited depth of field , the view through the viewfinder is like magic to me. Everything but the subject seems to blur to just color . You see detail that the naked eye, well this naked eye , just does not see or register. Sounds corny, but it is a view into an entirely different world. When one of these tiny creatures actually looks right into you at some magnification it is very special.

Elvis, thank you so much. I ,too, have a fascination with the odonatas , especially the damsels.

Thanks so much Karl. I have seen the Asian Beetle on occasions. You can purchase lady bugs at some of the nurseries, but you have to make sure they are lady bugs and not Asian beetles. Hope all is well.
