DO NOT go towards the light!

Haha. I did imagine that a 29 year old riding a bicycle with a baby was definitely not cool in their view.

The only thing I hate more than tall bikes are tweed rides..........

They were just riding to drama club. Geez.

lol:)

Funnily enough when we went to the other side of the tree the rays disappeared.

Just like an optical illusion.

Apollored has been to the other side ,
and is now back among us.

Wow! That flower is somethin' else!

Wild, right?! It's called a passion flower, I think. They grow a lot as vines on fences around here in Florida.

^very cool! Like the Bee floating there too. Nice shot...

Some Lake Superior treasures. Agates, Thompsonite, and driftwood.

I love the Passion Flower vines.
I have one in my back yard that is a different color with predominate white & purple colors.
I have also seen red ones.
The bees seem to love them.
I occasionally capture a shot of a bee or two on them.
Wish I had a sharper lens to get better clarity & sharpness in pics.
Any economical camera recommendations in $200 range good for macro shots?
Macro shots are great fun for me.

In the spring the bees liked the Red Maple tree blooms & the broccoli plant blooms.

I must have taken 120 shots or more on that Red Maple to get a couple of shots of bees in mid flight.
Got to definitely have some patience for some shots.

Man I have to take a trip tomorrow morning to the nursery & find me one of those vines! Nice bee shots, my approach is shoot first, choose later. I prefer not to edit or crop so I just take tons of shots and sort through them. I'm using a Canon ELPH 300 HS as my point & shoot, but prefer my older Sony Cybershot for macro. I mainly just use my phone though. Lazy FTW

This pic is awesome!

Disclosure: I had nothing to do with these pics. But if you like nice photos, take a look at these samples from the Nat'l Geographic photo contest. 50 absolutely amazing images. #50 even features a bike!

Yarper3, those Bee photos are so cool. Nice job.

I cannot remember ever seeing this creek so dry before.

Thank you mkeller234.

I really am fascinated my the 'small world' out there & even just in my own back yard.

Hopefully one day I can get a camera / lens with better macro capabilities.
Regards.

Time to go out to play. By the time I got back to this point, I'd logged 45 miles.

I want to post a video.

The papaya trees I planted this spring are over 7' tall now!
