Please note that the images below take some time to become clear.

I know that at times I will thoroughly ID my photographic subjects while other times I do not label all, or maybe any of the pictures I show.  This blog is first and foremost about photography.  Sometimes I will write about photographic technique and at other times a post may be created only to celebrate the images for their own sake.  I do love and write about natural history, and when I do that, more information is included about the subjects that are pictured.  Thankfully I have my pal Ron to also write informative articles about the story and science of nature.

The images below may be a bit confusing to the eye.  Joe-Pye Weed photographed up close can be a jumbled mess.   The picture shows a Goldenrod Soldier Beetle being eaten by a Goldenrod Spider.
