2 peas and a teeny tiny bee: Mumday post

Colour me crabby

Favorite "color" shot from this year:

crab spider on a zinnia

Assignment for day 17 of the 30 Day Photo Challenge is "colours,"

the spelling of which belies a Canadian or UK origin.

However, I'm feeling kinda wooky,

so wandering around w/camera may not happen today.

Y'all may have to settle for this.

Water, water, every where...

Harbor seal, Bodega Bay

"Day after day, day after day,

We stuck, nor breath nor motion;

As idle as a painted ship

Upon a painted ocean.

"Water, water, every where

And all the boards did shrink;

Water, water, every where,

Nor any drop to drink."

The water was extra gorgeous this week.

Very much like a painted ocean.

(p.s. Day 14 of the 30 day photo challenge, by @just_go_do_it, DONE)

"I'm ready for my close up, Mr. De Mille": wee cuties in the garden.

Garden teeny tinies, up close and personal.

This guy is not a lot larger than a dot when you're out there.

A 2-3 dot bug.

Therein lies the beauty of macro lenses! 

And cropped. There was NO WAY I could see these antennae in person.

How is THAT for a color palette from which to glean your breakfast?

Your little buggy office.

Nice!

Earlier looked into it, but there are SO many kinds of beetles,

I decided I'd post that pup, even not knowing who it was.

Finally got a clear shot of a crab spider face.

That spider could rest comfortably on my pinky nail, fyi.

And, just 'cause it's super cute, a bee, comin' in for a landing...

So adorable.

And how can you not love a plant with blue pollen?

That's why this bee's legs are blue...

What a delight to see this small, beautiful world.

Oahu color hit, just because

I need color.
