Spring is in the Air

[Bubbleman]

today i rolled up a friends place early around 10:30am. These flowers were all closed, within an hour the sun came Around and opened up each and everyone of them.
a few bee's were even in the area to collect pollen,
anyway these are the shots i managed to get before my battery died. taken with the 60mm canon macro lens


Enjoy

Cool, one time years ago I took a shortcut past the backyard of a house my friend had vacated a few months earlier, and right by the back step where he used to keep the trash was a 3 foot tall female canna-bush. The place was still empty so she was 'liberated' in short order, lol.

Accidental plantings can be amusing. I've seen people at houseparties stick seeds in random housplants' pots, and often wondered what became of them. Did they sprout? were they weeded out? Or did a big skunky bush take over a fern pot in the front window? How about the seeds tossed into the flower boxes at City Hall?.....

If everyone planted cannabis in every public park, flowerbox, planter, and empty lot everywhere all the time in a random manner, how much of it would survive? I think that perhaps a springtime of random planting is in order. :) Nature IS cool.

[Bubbleman]

well went out to the back yard again today to see what i could find. and found some very lovely subjects to shoot

Ok here is a pic I snapped on May 23, more than 2 weeks ago, of the first leaves just starting to come out on a tree in my front yard.

[YukonBikerGuy]

Here is the scene in my backyard yesterday morning......

[Bubbleman]

First two are a lacewing i caught on a blackberry leaf at a friends party. Not a very big bug but damn wicked eyes on him. Next up is a small wasp that was feeding on a rhododendron flower along with a bunch of bee's.
last is a type of stick bug i shot in the city at a bug laboratory. learning centre for kids.

[CosmikDebris]

Hey bubbleman what kind of camera and lenses are you using to get those incredible macro shots?

[Green Supreme]

So I guess I had some sort of visitor last night. Whatever it was it decided to take my little White Daturas. As all parts of the plantys create freakshow I imagine that animal must be trippin hard about now. Peace GS

[YukonBikerGuy]

Damn mang....... some stoned-assed bunny hoppin around yer 'hood? Or maybe someone's cat is busy consuming its own litter box.... lol. Shame about the loss tho dude.

[chrones]
