The Mantis and the Indian Blanket 💚
Green Sweat Bee 💚
Another little green sweat bee appeared today. They don’t make an appearance often so I lucked out getting this shot. This is an interesting fact about these solitary bees who nest alone. They dig burrows deep in the ground to lay their eggs. Sometimes these nests are communal, where a burrow entrance is shared by group of females. Each female branches out from the entrance to create her own tunnel where she nests alone and takes care of her own young. The responsibility of guarding the main entrance is shared among the group. Do you think they have arguments about whose turn it is to guard the entrance? You know they do! ☺
Ghost Spider 🕷
I found this little one in a plant…about the size of a pencil eraser and practically glowed in the sun!

After the Storm 🐌
The snails love to come out after a rain storm…which allowed me to get this sunlit shell as the sun was going down.
The Phoenix Bee 🌞
I love the desert in January. Highs in the mid 60s and endless sunshine!

The Peacock Feather and the Sunset 😎
When you are in the mood to take pics, but all you have is a peacock feather and the beautiful sunset :)

Did you know that the daisy is actually two flowers in one?
Another World
I displayed this at a recent photography show and a woman made an interesting comment about this image. It's almost as if there is another world inside the little droplet and you are looking in - I never thought of it that way, but now that's all I think about when I see it (like we are watching The Truman Show). :) This is not manipulated - that is how it looked on the blade of the grass (the image is flipped though).
