When I hike in the woods, I keep an eye on all of my surroundings! Critters in the forest, birds in the trees, bikes whizzing past and bugs on the path. My attention even gets drawn to the airplanes in the sky!
So when I get home and see that I've captured something tiny in a photo, I'm always thrilled.
Praying Mantis (about one inch long)
The tiniest dragonfly I've seen!
A beautiful orange dragonfly!
Caterpillar that looked translucent!
A fence lizard that was only about an inch and a half long!
A huge spider web....
with a Spiny backed Orb Weaver. ( I think these little spiders look like tiny alien spaceships!)
Which may account for the UFO I saw deep in the forest!
Let's zoooom in to get a good look at it! lol
And if that's not strange enough, this is a Green Hover Fly!
Ornidia orbesa More info HERE.
It was literally hovering at eye level when we walked a trail deep in the woods.
I was surprised that my camera could see it. I almost walked into it!
Above : Butterflies and an ant on the sunflower.
Below : Butterfly Pea
Now let's just hope those little things called dust particles go unnoticed around the house! I don't hike every day so I have time for housework. But then, there are so many interesting things to do that some things get overlooked! We haven't seen a 'new' movie in a long time so I ordered 2 movies on my wish list last week and we've watched and enjoyed them both! The new Little Women with Saoirse Ronan as Jo and News of the World with Tom Hanks. My husband and I both read the book (well both of them now that I think about it) and we were very pleased with the News of the World movie. It was tastefully done and I fell in love with the little girl, Helena Zengel who plays Johanna. I hope she'll be in lots of good movies in the future.
Have you watched any good movies lately? Or taken a hike? Or dusted your house?
I'm joining Angie for Mosaic Monday HERE .
