Boss photos you've taken

Carrying on with my affection for wasp macros, today on a different apple, and no doubt a different wasp, the determination to eat fruit is remarkable. The split in this apple is maybe 3mm at most... Yet the wasp has to get in there!

This is a bramble sawfly that flew into the kitchen and landed on the inside of the window. I know it looks like outer space, but that's the fill-in flash picking up the flaws....

Anyway, I put my fingers in front of it and managed a couple of photos before it flew away and back to the garden (bad timing on my part!)

So my mason bees have progressed since the last time I photographed them. Now, the nest has been covered up, and at least one bee is looking into another hole about 10 inches away. I suspect there will be larvae under the cover, and maybe the mason bee that is flying around is look for a new nest site for another generation.


Missed focus a bit on the first...

It’s criminally over looked around there, in favour of the Lakes.

Fantastic fungi. Where in your country was this?

Thanks, Paul! There were mushrooms all over the forest, it was lovely. It was just outside our city, we live in Asheville in the western part of North Carolina. Which is a region in the south east of the US.

Sunset in the med (between Barcelona and St. Raphael) last Sunday on a TUI cruise

The male vapourer moth (Rusty Tussock moth, Orgyia antiqua).

Wonderful features - the males fly by day but are often also attracted to light at night. Sometimes called 'Rusty Tussocks', the male vapourer moths are a rich brown colour with two distinctive eye spots - one on each forewing.

Took this picture a couple weeks back of St. Peter’s Basilica in Columbia, SC. John Paul II celebrated Mass here during his visit to South Carolina in 1987.
This was just before a massive thunderstorm rolled in.
