I need to get back to this with my good camera.
That’s on the list.
Pima Canyon Trailhead, Phoenix
Saguaro cactus with both living green areas and dead brown parts. There are holes throughout the cactus. The inside, open to the world, looks like dry bark.

My Judith:
Black and white image of Judith, her foot on the decapitated head that used to belong to Holofernes. Lions are at her feet. The tree of life is behind her.

This is what started it.
I’m sure my new Judith menorah design didn’t help.

I can sign up for these lifestyle choices.

A bee lunches, head down, in a while blossom. The wings are in focus and the body is blurred, but you can see that this bee has made quite a mess of lunch!

Macro shot of a Monarch butterfly wing, its black and white polka dots in a downward angle across the screen. Tiny pixelated wing scales can be seen. The sun is coming through the honey-colored wing, making it glow.

Good morning, Arizona.

I’m a little green.
I’m a little thorny.
I’m a little soft.
I’m a little sharp.

A lime green cactus arm shoots heavenward, its bright, blood-red spikes paint a contrast to the white stretch marks mirrored on the other side of the arm.

A honeybee grabs onto the long red stamen of the red bird of paradise blossom, wings blurred in joy. Asking the bottom of the image, yellow, orange, and red blossoms create a root of color. The bright blue sky is dotted with a few clouds.

Hi! Welcome!

This is a beautiful shot. Can I ask what you’re shouting with to get this focus?

Here is one of mine from a butterfly garden last fall.
Macro photo shot of an orange and black butterfly wing: the left wing of a butterfly, burnt orange with a thin black smudge and some black circles with white at the center. A zoom in will show the detail of the scales on the wing, tiny and pixelated.

Awesome!
It reminds me of this bottle brush. It was with my iphone11 when I first started appreciating macro shots. Again. 😂
A red bottlebrush pushes its golden-tipped stamen out into the world. The gold tips are in focused and in the background is a riot of red with green leaves.

The bursting white blossom of the Peruvian apple cactus plays balcony to these two bees. They love for each other’s love but are parted by a thin flower petal to which they both cling.

A delicious looking lemon blueberry muffin sits on a tan and floral plate. The plate has a yellow-orange-red flower theme and the blueberries are bursting out of the muffin.

Butter is important to me.

I captured my first hummingbird shot a couple of weeks ago.
Anna’s hummingbird, with his shiny green body, drinking loudly from an orange bell blossom. The background is a riot of yellow and orange bells against an overexposed sky.

A honey bee crouches down intense a red-orange gerbera daisy, ready to enjoy its meal. The bee is presented in sharp silhouette and presents a collection of pollen on its knee. Yellow and red stamen curl up from below the bee’s pollen-speckled feet.
