Life Goes On …

Variations on the angle of approach, for background/contrast and eye level contact.
Pluck a leaf and raise ‘im up. Alarms the bug for a moment, enough to send it into hiding.
But not for long … turn the leaf over and there it is, exposed and hesitant – perceiving no danger.
Way to go … the upside down view of the world. Sometimes I think everything needs upending, for a fresher view.
A green shield bug at the end of summer, loitering on the greenery. Hasn’t yet been moved to insert that needle mouth into a vein for the available nourishment.
But it will … everything lives off something else. Until it in turn dies and feeds another form, ever burgeoning, ad infinitum.
The life behind unmoving …

Nature's Place 
How do you zoom in so close? When I try to take a photo of creatures this small they run and hide.
This https://beingmark.com/macro-illustrated/ is the long answer. The short one is ‘carefully’, with the right gear and attitude.
Your pictures never fail to amaze!
Thanks Tish. If the nature wasn’t already amazing … I’d get corresponding results.
True – but you do justice to nature with your detailed photography!
Beautiful pictures… and that drop on the bug’s back… or head? Lovely.
Thanks Joyce. Little things add to the story. It’s back, I’d say.
