Not going to make it to Cowes for the fireworks tonight, so I had some fun with a macro lens, very shallow dof, and a spiders web in deep space instead.

A European Honey Bee (Apis Mellifera) with a big water bubble on its back and head.
The day I took this was horrifically hot (40 degrees C plus) and they had been coming in their droves to my fishpond to drink and behaving in a most dopey fashion. So I sprayed them with a bit of water .... which this one seemed not to be too happy about.
Nevermind ..... I think it might have helped the temperature balance?
A bit of macro fun again this morning, take one spiders web, add some morning dew, sunshine, a very shallow dof and some imagination…
If you look very carefully, you can see one tiny droplet that is in focus in an intergalactic sea of bokeh

The Dragonflies (Anisoptera sp.) are out in force again today - warm weather and windy.
I'd quite like to get a 'head-on' shot, but they seem to have a penchant for a particular branch on a fushcia which means a 3/4 is as good as it gets.
What seems like the right thing to do could also be the hardest thing you have ever done in your life.

I think this is a grey striped mosquito (Ochlerotatus vittiger) although maybe it isn't a mosquito at all!?!? [Edit] - In fact it isn't - it's an adult male chironomid midge and thanks to Ed... for pointing me in the right direction. Still - he doesn't look happy - maybe because I got his id wrong.
The thing which really impressed me most about this beastie was those very impressive eyebrows. Makes Denis Healey look like an amateur. For another view, see the first comment field.
A Two-Spined spider (Araneus eburnus) protectively pulling her wrapped lunch towards her as I approach.
As you can probably see, the prey is a honey-bee; this spider seems to be especially good at collecting them in her orb web.

I like to shoot the wild poppies through their whole life cycle, i think there's beauty to be found every step of the way.

Well, no offence to the Don intended, but the hairstyle draws the obvious comparison.
It isn't him of course, but a cute as a button Jumping Spider (Salticidae sp.) who is showing extreme interest in my rig. Within a second of taking this shot he jumped onto my lens and then to the Twin Lite to see what all the fuss was about.
These spiders are so engaging, if they were bigger I'd have them as pets.
