I have a week vacays and spending it at our summer house; inet connection is awful, and I hardly can share all the beauties I am experiencing with my macro lens. At least deep into the night connection become more or less suitable, to throw in a few images to the Hive. Hope you will enjoy all the enclosed!
While I was photographing rosehip petals, a bee flew into the frame - quickly inspected the contents of the flower and flew away.
Withering lily flowers. (This image is created with macro focus stake from two separate frames).
Apple trees in full bloom. Thanks to direct contrast sunlight and no wind blowing, I got away with some decent captures.
Shooting the insects is another deal. They are constantly in move, even the slow ones (like snails) are hard to capture, especially when you having in mind further macro staking! Yesterday I noticed a magnificent shiny blue-metallic bug, sitting quietly on the wall -- but when I returned with camera in 60 seconds, he started running from me like mad... I did not take a single shot. And things like that happen pretty often!
This night moth hided from me in the rugged foliage of wolf beans. Happily he was not very active under the day light.
Digging the soil, I found two strange things: this chrysalis and a little blue-ish glass ball. (Maybe my babygirl have lost it?.. I have no ideas how it could happen at the place other way).
Dragonfly -- a rare visitor in my garden (cause their larvae breed in water, and my summer house is located in an area where water comes only after rain... and stays in the ditches just for a short time.)
And we had a lot of May lilies all over the place.
Right now the flowers are already withering, but in June I managed to lie next to them on my belly, looking at them through the viewfinder. They are amazing and touchy.
