A little piece of insect craftsmanship that I found in a plant on my front porch the other day. It was built by a small wasp. The wasp places a live caterpillar inside the container and lays an egg with it. When the egg hatches the larva has a fresh meal waiting.

Another image that I made the other day while photographing the Christmas cactus blossoms on my front porch. This is high-magnification macro image and it is the full frame as captured by the camera – no cropping. For a scale reference in this photograph the ant was about half the length of a grain of rice. Look at the ants on the flowers in yesterday’s post to see their size in comparison to an entire blossom.

They have all come into bloom on my front porch this past week so I went out there and snapped a few shots in the late afternoon sunlight the other day.

On a recent occasion when I was out shooting just for myself I was on a mission to simply shoot some black and white images with one of my vintage 35mm film cameras. I was traveling light and it was the only “real” camera I had with me. I sat down on this park bench to take a break and this seed pod laying on the bench next to me caught my eye. I knew right away that I wanted a color photo of the scene and so the camera in my phone saved the day.

This was taken on Fuji Provia film using my 1966 Mamiya camera. I bought it used 27 years ago. I love to shoot black and white film with it and in all those years this is only the second time I’ve put a roll of color film in that camera. I think I’m going to shoot a lot more now.
