Macrophotography

Pictures of tiny things from throughout the US!

Insects

Seen on a trip to Boston where I got to use a DSLR for the first time:

black-and-yellow dragonfly perched on branch

black-and-yellow dragonfly with three sets of black patches on wings

black-and-blue dragonfly perched on leaf

robberfly on stem of yellow flower

small black parasitoid wasp on leaf, rubbing hind legs together hoverfly hovering over a small aster flower

Snowflakes

Taken with an Olympus Tough TG5 camera -- for a point-and-shoot, this camera has extraordinary macro capabilities and is also completely weather/waterproof.

myoats.com Graveyard

myoats.com has been revived! It was down for like a month because the Microsoft IIS server it was running on had crashed. But some sysadmin figured out what was going on and fixed it. Still waiting for them to switch to Linux though...

Anyway here are some fun spiral things I made on that site.
