Day 169 Steed Pond

@Krs_2007 I'm ok with suck. It's a funny story. Many years ago when I first started dipping my toes into photography for real I had an image in Moab, Utah that I was really quite proud of. This was the pro I was learning under. In a moment of engaged mouth before brain he responded with, "That...

@Krs_2007 I sensed you were busting my chops or finding a nice way to tell me my photos suck :) Either way, my wife killed my last feeling so I have none to hurt. This class was actually student driven. They have been viewing my photos for quite some time and are always excited to see what I...

@Roy1961 This crab is pure vegetarian with a very specialized claw for picking algae off the reef. The end of the claws are actually flat like a set of pliers.

Day 168 - Our new additions For three days we have searched to locate the lobster in our salt water aquarium. To our great happiness it appears that d@&# lobster is finally dead! Can't tell you the hundreds of dollars that lobster ate. However, if you have had a salt water aquarium you know...

@Roy1961 The shell is from the winged bug above it. They come in a large variety of colors. Here we have the black and gold (yellow).

Mountain wildflower

Micro grasshopper that fits on half a man's pinkie nail.

Platypedia putnami - It's an annual cicada. 1 inch body length. These click rather than buzz as we have a cicada killing wasp that hunts them. From my research, I seem to have found them in a new location in the state of Utah.

Eye see you... about a million times over.

Here is another micro flower from today. It was a flower, but quite different. No pretty colors or traditional petals. I'm sure it is built just the way it needs to be to draw in whatever it is that pollinates it.

Found this little guy on the side of the mountain about a mile and a half above sea level.

Day 166 Continued Still quite a few flowers on the mountains.

Day 166 Continued A while back I posted a picture of a little micro grasshopper munching on the velvet of my rose's petals. Found another one up the canyon. Eye see you!

Day 166 Cicada (Platypedia putnami) Found this up in a local canyon. They are yearly cicadas and rather than making this very loud buzz noise they make clicks. Bug people speculate it's because we have certain insects such as the Cicada Killer Wasp that hunts them down. If they buzzed they...
