All great shots, but your Short-winged meadow katydid is just outstanding!

The katydid's antennae were too long to fit the frame! I didn't know I'd missed their tips until viewing the images on my laptop.

These photos, all of them, are of such beauty that I can scarcely form the words.

Delicate, ephemeral, ethereal . . . well, I think you get the idea.

... evanescent

Summer's winding down and bright blossoms and green are giving way to dead flowerheads and brown. There's beauty in that transition and the dead season that follows.

"You know the nearer your destination the more you’re slip slidin’ away" -Paul Simon

considering depth of field, something that long is difficult to capture well

Overcast skies and mist made for some interesting shots today. Got two new spider species: Gea heptagon orb weaver and a bowl weaver. I'll post later this evening.
