This year I’m going to be focusing on Macro imaging for my Project 52. Sometime soon I’ll be adding a Macro Focusing Rail so I can get closer without wobbling all over the place.

Here are some additional images I shot while looking for my first macro images of the year…

P52 28/52 To make a prairie…

To make a prairie~ Emily Dickinson, 1830-1886To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee,
One clover, and a bee.
And revery.
The revery alone will do,
If bees are few.
~Emilly Dickinson

Image taken laying on my belly in my front yard at the beginning of evening Golden Hour. The clover is popping up in patches here and there…I sometimes think we should let it take over. Though most consider it a weed, and blight on the lawn (He-Man included) I like it!

 

Addendum: Woo-whoo! I’ve passed the halfway mark of my Project 52! It’s actually gone by pretty fast.

Busy BuzzerI’m not really sure what type of Bee this is. Is it a Bumble Bee, or Bee Fly, or something else? He/she got an early start to the day along with the Honey Bees, and me on this particular morning.

Busy Bee

Honey BeeI found a swarm of busy bees early one morning last week busy at work Pollen Gathering.

I thought they must have just begun their day’s labors as they didn’t have any pollen on their bodies yet.

I like the faint motion of the wings in this image.

Hope you’re having a great week-end!
