I'm having fun with the 50mm lens. I didn't get to play as much as I'd like today. It was stormy on and off. I looked up once today and there was a really scary black cloud coming my way. I'm still not brave enough to stay outside for lightning pics.
This is a little Burrowing Bee. It was enjoying the Wood Slurge. The splurge is a very popular plant right now.
I saw my first snake for the year. I came around the house and the cats were playing with it! I did take a few snaps. Too bad I didn't have my zoom lens on. I told my family it was huge and looked like an anaconda. In reality, it was about a foot long. :0)
Thank you so much for your kind comments and faves on yesterday's pics! I really appreciate them! :0)
Oh, Carolyn. They weren't sharing. They're trying to teach you how to hunt because cats feel sorry for humans and our clear inability to find good food for ourselves.
Beautiful, delicate, furry shot. Great detail. You've mastered your new lens already by the looks of it. (What sort of snake was it? Just interested as yours are different from ours.)
@girlie Thank you Robin! It was a Common Garter Snake. They get their name from their stripes. They look like the stripes on garters that men used to wear to keep their socks up. :0)
Everyday there's either a dead mouse or a mole on the deck, but so far no snakes. I finally caught my wild cat Tues night. I took her to the vet Wed. He worked her in and got her spayed. Yay!! Only 1 more to go and I have an appointment for her in 2 wks. Glad you are having fun with your new camera lens. Waiting to see some crystal ball pictures.
@memejanetx3 Thank you, Janet! I've been practicing with the crystal ball, but I haven't gotten anything I really liked yet. I need to get away from home to take pics with it. :0)
Did you see Fuzzy on PP? I was so excited as one of mine were next to her - yey! :0) The is another lovely shot and pilates done for the day - check:0)
You always take wonderful photos. That new lens is just going to help! Wonderful photo, love the detail! You'll have to get another camera so that you can have the other lens available too! :0
Now I have seen a burrowing bee and whatever you said that plant was! LOL. I think that will frustrate me about getting a macro lens...the "darn I have the wrong lens on to get this shot" thing. Oh well. I need to just deal with it, I guess!
