My Best Daily Shots

Thanks for stopping by to view my daily photo! I will post a new photo each day to this gallery. Typically, I will post early morning, and the photo will have been taken the day before. Sometimes the photo may be from sometime earlier in the week, but all the pictures posted will be relatively new. I hope you see something that makes you smile. Feel free to leave professionally appropriate comments. Here's a link to the SmugMug Daily Community.

06/17/10 - Eastern Amberwing Dragonfly (as best as I can tell)<br />
This dragonfly is very small. I guess maybe the size of a quarter if you drew a circle around him. Much smaller than the Halloween Pennant I showed on Tuesday. He does hang out in the same area as the pennants do, though.<br />
<br />
Cropped just a bit to remove some area on the left and make it an 8X10. If you view in larger sizes, you can see a fair amount of detail on his face.<br />
<br />
The flower in the lower middle is Queen Anne's Lace going to seed. I take pictures of Queen Anne's Lace all the time but was looking back at my first year of daily pictures and realized that I never posted a picture of it. How could that be?!? It's really a flower not to be overlooked for it's interesting geometry and wonderful insect attracting powers. <br />
<br />
Shortly after this shot, it rained:-) We got great rain overnight too. I am so thrilled not to have to water my flowers. <br />

I had trouble choosing today because I had lots of shots I could have enjoyed talking about and sharing with.<br />
<br />
I also caught a shot with amazingly creepy detail of one bug getting ready to have lunch on another bug:<br />

In larger sizes, the eyes are so cool and the detail is just, um, maybe too detailed:-)<br />
<br />
Thanks for your comments on yesterday's shot and hope you enjoyed the trip to the swamp with me:-)<br />

This is really wonderful, I love all the textures and soft color. And the bug, of course.

This is terrific. He's very un-bug-like (?).

Terrific. He kind of looks like a little fairy.
