Profile of a Honey Bee

Honey Bee

An oldie but a goodie. This is a macro photograph of a Honey Bee in our backyard taken on 10 December 2022. I should do more macro photography as I enjoy the details it can reproduce of tiny creatures that the naked eye could not see.

Macro photograph of a Housefly

Housefly

This is an older photograph of a Housefly from 15 October 2022. It was taken in our backyard. I really like this photograph because of the details that the naked eye could not possible see.

Grasshopper on Kangaroo Paw

Common Bandwing Grasshopper on Kangaroo Paw

Soon after planting our Kangaroo Paw in our backyard, we discovered this Common Bandwing on 8 May 2023. It stayed for a couple of days and disappeared. It looked like it took a bite of the Kangaroo Paw but didn’t like it very much.
