Bug pictures
« on: Jul 12, 2007, 06:13:31 PM »
I'm too busy with my gardens to take up photography as a hobby, but since "bugs" aren't pets I'll put my pic in this forum.

While I was outside with my camera today, I saw a big dragonfly cruising around my Vinca. He/she kept landing on it, so I thought I'd take a chance & try for a picture. 
                           Got it! :Glee:
      

We don't see a whole lot of dragonflies here, & I think they're pretty!

I keep seeing these bees with little orange bubbles on their back legs, & tried to get a pic of one, but they're so darned fast & won't hold still for me! Of course, they aren't around whenever Peggy comes over with her camera, but she told me that those orange bubbles are little bags where they stuff the pollen they gather!

I had some "trouble" with my camera when I first got it, & didn't realize that I was actually taking videos whenever the button was turned to "movie", until I was going through files from my camera the other day! :Wacko:

I lifted this frame from the avi file, so now I have the still shot that I was after (even though it's fuzzy)!
     
                   

I sure wish I'd have known about that movie feature when I had company from Maui in May! :Groaner:

We have lots of dragonflies around here, Patty. They come in some amazing colors. :) You captured a great picture of the dragonfly.

I didn't know that! Of course I try not to get close to the things that sting. I am allergic to a couple of them... :SmileyFear:
