Normally I HATE bugs of any kind, especially spiders. But when I started looking at them through the lens of a camera, I found something fascinating. Now I still don't like them in the house, but if they stay outside and off me, I love taking their photos. Most of these were taken in my yard, unless identified otherwise.

| Just a lowly and common blue bottle fly, but look how beautiful the colors are. This was taken at a wonderful place on the Oregon coast called Shore Acres Park. |

| I love taking pictures of bees. They really are beautiful if you take the time to look. |

| This little fella loved the lupine and I am guessing that is a load of pollen he's carrying. I don't know much about insects, so I could be wrong. |

| I think dragonflies are pretty cool. They are so colorful. This one loved sitting atop this garden stake. At one point, as I snapped photo after photo, I swear he was watching me as much as I was watching him. |

| The spider has long since abandoned his lair, but his handiwork lives on to capture the frost of a cold morning and turn it into a delicate display of wonder. How do they DO that? |
 |
| The butterfly photos were taken by Russ in Crescent City, CA this past September on our way back from our trip to Montclair to order the Lazy Daze. I think they're pretty good photos. |
I hear you about bugs and insects ... as long as they stay outside, they make a good subject for the camera. If they come inside, all bets are off!
