That, sir, is not a butt, but a blep. Gorgeous pic tho!

 

I'm not entirely sure of the subspecies. They are tiny, adorable, and really favor tansy.

Oh wow, gorgeous bird!

 

Possibly "Colletes daviesanus". Tiny and cute.

Females do not, actually, have the orange tips on their wings, but the patterns on the underside are gorgeous.

Yellow-legged Mining Bee (Andrena flavipes). They're cute as heck so I'm gonna be stalking their foraging area.

Thank you so much!

Thank you! A proper camera (R7) with a 85mm lens :) I know some people manage great macro with their phones, but I couldn't have gotten close enough with a phone, the bees hurried back into their tunnels whenever I got near.

 

Grey backed mining bee (Andrena vaga) waiting for me to get away from her nest.

Herons look so incredibly cool. Until you see them from the front, of course. Gorgeous shot!

 

I know they're not rare or anything, but it's the first time I get to observe some.

Sorry for the shaky video, I keep forgetting to take a beanbag.

You drive through the fields and spot a dishevelled young woman hunching over roadkill, reaching into the corpse with pliers as flies buzz around her. You accidentally make eye contact just as she - grinning - drops a writhing maggot into a translucent plastic bottle.

Why settle when I could get a 800mm 5.6 for a mere 14k?

The only reason I didn't impulse buy a teleconverter to tack on my impulse bought 600mm is that it would just get me (more) underexposed pictures. But the urge is real, and we don't even have bald eagles around here.

I saw some active webrings on neocities sites!

 

It's based on a template, I made it for the Afternoon Tea pixel club: https://lostletters.neocities.org/afternoontea/ which you should check out :)
