Giant Jack o Lantern Mushroom

Giant Jack o Lantern Mushroom

I found this giant Jack o Lantern mushroom at the base of this large oak tree. This mushroom is literally 15 inches across and theoretically will glow in the dark somewhat once the sun sets. The scientific name is Omphalotus olearius and the unique property of glowing in the dark is called bioluminescence. Similar to the ability that a firefly has to glow at night.

Fly Praying Macro

Fly Praying Macro

This little fly was maybe 1/5 inch long and landed on this flower pistol. I positioned my tripod in an attempt to capture it with a macro lens and my efforts paid off. If you look closely you can see the individual eye lenses on this hover fly’s eyes. Seems pretty surreal to me, it looks as if it praying with its hands. Hope you like it.

Summer Flower Macro

Summer Flower Macro

A small summer flower macro photo cropped to show the greater detail of the flower, isolating the flower with extreme bokeh. Even the slightest amount of wind would cause this little flower to move so I used a stick to prop against the stem to hold it still. I like to get the most detail possible in the full size image.

Considering Busy Honey Bee Macro

Considering Busy Honey Bee Macro

I love to take the time to simply watch a honey bee work. They stay ever so busy and it reminds me of the scripture regarding the ant. The Bible tells us to consider her ways and be wise. I think this bee is wise because it is preparing.

Hoverfly Flower Macro

Hoverfly Flower Macro

Hover-fly landed on a small flower gathering nectar in the summertime. These little bees are tiny but at least they stay still for a little bit, at least long enough to get their picture. It is amazing what can be seen in the world below our feet if we stop to look we will see many wonders of creation.
