We lived on a farm in Northwestern Michigan for many years. Lots of animals and insects around. Here are a couple of them. Slides are now about 25 years old and starting to fade. Most I've been able to correct to the original color.
We had a large patch of Lavender growing near our back porch that attracted many moths, bees and butterflies when it was in bloom. Skippers of all colors really loved the flowers. It was a nice stable spot for me to set up my tripod and focus on a flower, and usually within a few minutes there was something there to photograph besides the flower.
This was back when there were many bees around.
Lots of grasshoppers in the late summer too.
There are many insects around in my country this year 😀 :doh:
Nice post and photos :up: :coffee:
Thanks irczas. We've had it very, very hot this summer, and some places have received a lot of rain, so the mosquitoes are out in force.
Great shots! :star: :cheers:
Thanks Michal.
I really like the top one. It has a dreamy quality. Poetic.
By the way, you know your name Merle means blackbird in French ?
Thank you very much SC. 🙂

Most of that dreamy quality comes from a high ASA film pushed a couple stops in processing, and then another generation via the scan.

No, I did not. Interesting. Certainly better than my last name in German. 🙂
