Portraits and Macros

The two kinds of photography that currently have my attention are portraits and macros. I still need more time with my macro technique but I am enjoying the portraits. Hope you do too…

Hunting spider caught in the house. We tagged him with a radio collar and let him go in the front yard.

We’ve been back from vacation for a couple of weeks now but I’m still working through a bit of a back log on getting pictures off of the camera. Here are few pictures of nature around Bass Lake both large and small. The panorama picture of the storm passing to the north of the lake is one of my favorite pictures. Enjoy!

Crystal took this one out by the swamp. A frog and a bee on the same milkweed plant.

The profile is his best side.

I was getting close to him and he stated to take an aggressive stance. Seconds after this picture he went for me.

A wolf spider giving me the stink eye. Eight of them.

Random Vacation Pics

Here are a few picture from the last few days. It include a visit of the Julie, Evelyn and Charlotte to Chez Danbury along with a few other random pics.

A shot of one of the local arachnids. I would have included my thumb in the picture for scale but I value it too much.

Nora on the SS Honey Badger.

Kai poses with an interesting caterpillar found on the deck. The spines and bright colors are probably only a bluff.

Riding bikes on county road FF.

Kai and Nora playing at Blueberry Junction. It seems like safe equipment but keep in mind that underneath Nora...that is all lava infested with lava-gators.

It was pouring rain but the kids still wanted to get a photo of themselves with the largest Leinenkugels Lounger in all of Burnett County.

It is hard to take a good picture from a moving boat with an iPhone but here are Kai and Nora enjoying some tubing on Bass Lake.

Spider!

Look what the kids found under a sprinkler grate in the front yard. Crystal has it double bagged and in the freezer waiting for pest control to show up tomorrow.

The Last set from Danbury

It doesn’t usually take an entire month to work through the last of the vacation photos but this time it did. I’m blaming the network. At any rate, the last images of a fantastic summer vacation are posted on the bencrystal.net website. Enjoy!
