A couple of images of a very tenacious leaf. I feel like there is real beauty in the imperfections here. It is clearly depleted and yet it seems to say "I think I'll just hang out here in the sun for another day." #photography #backyardphotography #leafphotography #closeupphoto

Almost forgot about these mushrooms I photographed the day I was getting pinecone pictures. I nearly overlooked the little one in the first two images. It was very small. #photography #mushrooms #backyardphotography #closeupphoto

Yesterday morning we woke up to our first dusting of snow for the season. I was skeptical that I'd be able to get much in the way of photos because I knew it would melt very quickly. Still, I figured it was worth a try. #photography #closeupphoto #firstsnow #backyardphotography

Variegation in Sorbaria leaves, Japanese Beetles getting some sun, tiny flies on a White Campion blossom, and an Eastern Harvestman on a Great Mullein leaf.

Here is #doorframe & #door by daylight. In the #closeupphoto on my #mobile phone gallery I can see marks which could have been where #nails went from when I was imprisoned in my bedroom 1night with string as a child. ##Julia #juliawilkinson #fraud #crime #impostors #fakeparents #photograph #photo

Red-legged Grasshoppers. These things are not the most cooperative subjects for closeup photography, but I managed a few images that aren't too bad.

Today I want to share a bit about what can happen when I stage a scene to photograph. The first image is not very interesting. The second one is after I cleared away some grass, added some "props," and placed a light above the opening at the top.

Yellow Jacket Wasp taking advantage of my hummingbird feeder. The very aggressive stare down is why I didn’t get too close.

Yellow Jacket Wasp taking advantage of my hummingbird feeder. The white stripes make him look very aggressive. I didn’t get too close.

Between the heat, humidity and the wildfire smoke it has been hard to get outside with my camera. Yesterday there was a little bit of a break so I snuck out for a few minutes. Here are a few of the small creatures I encountered.

Feeling a bit abstract this morning. I went back a grabbed a couple of clover closeup pictures, and one really tight crop of a thistle I took yesterday after my eye appointment. My pupils were blown out so it was tough to focus (in more ways than one), the details though!

Part of a new project, the small wildlife on our plot of land. This is a Robberfly, isn't it wonderful! #insectphotography #macrophotography #omsystem #closeupphoto #backyardphotography

Feeling a bit 'buggy' on this Wednesday, so here are three images of various bugs doing their things around the yard.

Today I give you a mix of few more "Wednesday whimsy" images. There is a Skipper on some flowers in the sun, a couple of golden flowers against a blue sky, and a still life of a matchbox and some stone wrapping I had done a few months ago. Very eclectic. #photography #closeupphoto #stilllife

A few more images of the variety of life right in our back yard. Nothing spectacular, but it's fun to try and capture these creatures in a photograph - they don't like posing all that much.
