Old Man in the Rocks- Transmogrify
Transmogrify, there’s a word we use everyday! These natural rock formations, carved or transmogrified my nature itself provide some eyes on the trail. Do you see the Old Man in the Rocks?
Through the Window
Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge this week is Through the Window .
I took this picture of my grandson doing some bird watching a couple of years ago.

Macro – Moments Week 15

Last of the Dragonflies
While hiking Sunday, I came onto this Band-Winged Meadowhawk. A warm fall has extended its season. Some dragonflies will warm up and survive into November , even December. It chose this Dogwood as its post – a most convenient camo spot.

Summer Shine
SHINE is the WPC photo challenge of the week. I immediately thought of this picture capturing the sun’s rippled reflection as a backdrop for a dragonfly photo shoot last summer. I posted a similar picture when the theme was Frame.
Macro Moments Challenge : Week 14
A Handsome Devil
I’ve not done a weekly photo challenge in a while and thought these pics I took at a trails end might fit nicely with The Weekly Macro Photo Challenge: Week 14. Left to itself this wasp is quite docile and useful. Aggravate it and you’ll pay.

School House Orb Weaver
“That’s a sewing spider”, one of the Amish boys in my classroom told me. Then he told another boy, “It can sew your fingers together!” I think an older brother has been telling some tall tales.
These large docile 0rb weaving spiders commonly answer to plain ol’ garden spider or black and yellow Orb Weaver. But I was curious about the sewing-spider tag. They weave a zig zag pattern into their webs and therefor have earned a nickname of “sewing machine spider”.
