Yeah.. I agree. Thanks Alan.

Thanks Michael.

My granddaughter reported to me that there was a giant spider on the table and she had put a glass over it. I brought it to my water bath with a rock and although it ran into the water a number of times and up my arm as I took it out of the water, it did eventually sit still on the top of the...

Nice image Larry. It would be very late for a recent hatch of young in my area. We had a temperature 1 degree above freezing last night. Lots of birds are getting fattened up for the fall migration. Is this normal for where you live?

Impressive Alan... It would have been a shame to miss this one. The thin line reflections on the water add a lot to my eye.

Looks like you are having fun with this macro world. I was going to suggest you get a diffuser but I see you have one ordered. The diffuser makes a world of difference to get low ISO, high f-stop and dark background. I'll keep watching for your posts.

Yes. I miss the post from the fellow in England and some of the others as well.

The week got away on me again and I just remembered it was winged-wednesday. I enjoyed the submissions from all of you. Here is a few from my recent trip. A GBH fishing and in flight in Victoria B.C. This is a terrible picture and I include it to make a point that the best camera is the one...

It is always so tempting to get an extreme closeup of the eyes but I agree the first one is more compelling. I have been trying to get what I call a horizon shot with my insect/spiders shots but they are quite difficult to get the pose. Thanks Alan for commenting.

This little spider was running around on my floor so I picked it up and put it on a rock I use for spider images. It took maybe 30 minutes of it moving around and then it sat still long enough to get one horizon shot and then two more that were 66 images each. I used Helicon Focus to stack them...

I enjoyed Jim's sign about the sidewalk ending. I saw this sign outside a bookstore in a little town called Ladysmith on Vancouver Island and thought it was worth sharing.

I love the picture and your title Ken. Well seen.

That was a great read and wonderful visuals to go along with the text Eric. Such fun to experience your posts. These are my submissions from the last week of exploring Vancouver Island. A slightly wet Spotted Towhee at the Airbnb where I was staying. One of the Yellowlegs (Lesser I think) at...

Thanks Jim.

So I guess if it is pretty it is also pretty invasive.

My plant app tells me this is Queen Ann's lace. I thought it had an interesting seed pod or flower.

Thanks Alan. It always amazes me what you need to do when you don't have teeth!

While wandering the beach near Lanztville B.C. I saw this Double-crested Cormorant swimming and diving. One time it popped up and had a fish in its bill. I think is a Pacific Staghorn Sculpin. It would likely be better as a video but here is a sequence that shows the amazing expanding ability of...

Whatever you said and whatever it means gave beautiful results Michael.:p

That is quite the story Jim. Sounds like everyone got back to where they were supposed to be. A bit later in the fall and this fellow might have been in the rut and much more dangerous. He is a fine specimen.
