Daily Photography Contest- Macro Photography- Dried Seed Pods

Whenever I am taking photos of Cotton Seed Pods I am always on the lookout for the colourful harlequin bugs. It doesn't usually take long before I spot them feeding from the seeds. The Cotton Harlequin Bugs are members of the Jewel Bug family and are characterized by their bright metallic colours. The males are mostly blue-red in colour and the females are generally orange. Here is a beautiful male jewel bug

Look ta that blue coloring on that Cotton Harlequin bug! It would definitely be difficult to not see these bug with those orange dots as they munch away on the dried pods for their lunch.

Bells

Bells from San Francisco Botanical Gardens. Part of my "Meditation In Green" collection. It's good for your eyes and calming for nerves!

WOW! Amazing and delicate!
These are some of the most unusual, and incredibly beautiful, flowers I have ever seen.

Wednesday Walk: Minnesota Zoo

I'm guessing there aren't many people who had one of these on their morning walk today
I've been running myself ragged at the same time as I have an irritating, ongoing cold, so I decided this morning that I desperately needed some zoo time. I spend a lot of time at the Minnesota Zoo, and mostly the photos I take are like the one up there, of animals with the long lens. But I figured for Wednesday Walk (by @tattoodjay) I would also take my phone out from time to time and take some pictures of what the zoo itself is like

Leaping Bengal Tigers! Would you look at that!
Let's send the day relaxing with @tcpolymath and enjoy some views of the animals at the Minnesota Zoo. See a mama pig and her piglets, some goats and even a wallaby hiding in the tall grass.

Tractor Trails

Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario
A product of a fun night of light experimentation with friends a few years ago at Kurtz Orchard, this photo, combining light painting with startrails, has stood the test of time

What an amazing view of the sky! Like a vortex and the farmer's tractor sits so quietly nearby; waiting for the next light show in the heavens above.


@crisangelphototalent


Disparos Mananeros- Photo Talent

It all started on a Friday when I came to visit a great place called Chupadero , located in Socorro, Guárico state of my beautiful country Venezuela. Chupadero is the home of great friends that for me are family, they are @ropavejero , @ luis07 and @shikamaru . After a part of days passed, it was Sunday morning, at that time I got up there were no people in sight (it was too early ), I took the moment of full calm, solitude and freshness to take some pictures, also the spectacular sunlight transmitted at that time

Before everyone else wakes up... let's go for a garden walk with @crisangel to see what beauty awaits us.


Good luck to all the entries! May the best photo win!



Congratulations to the winner of the 34th Photo Friday: @r00sj3

Prize: Tier 5 upvotes worth around $0.33 for 30 days!

Sorry about that... Bengal came to mind and when I searched the image.. bengal kept coming up- but still... a great action shot!

Perfect timing! I like the action on it.🍻

grrrrawwrrrr ! it leapt out of the water !!!! so cool <3

That's a great shot @tcpolymath! Perfect timing :)

Amazing shot! What perfect timing. Been getting more into animal photography myself!

Awesome tiger and a great shot :D.

Nice shot!!!
Looks like he just spotted his prey!

Amazing shot, this gets my vote @tcpolymath. #nominate

a great edition a lot of luck

Awesome photo! Astrophoto is difficult to create, because you need to calculate and consider many factors and in the dark to correctly compose the composition.
Excellent work!

Thank you so much! :)

Absolutely stunning capture!

Thank you!! :)

You will not believe, but I really liked this picture lol. Very beautiful all the effects that can be appreciated. Many successes.

Thanks very much for the honour of choosing one of my images @qurator I'm thrilled.
Blue Jewell bug on seed pod.jpg

Beautiful capture @trudeehunter!! I love the vibrant colors of the harlequin bug and the jewel bug name certainly fits them!!

Thank you very much @deerjay Your vote and support is greatly appreciated my friend. The jewel bugs are very pretty but they do cause a lot of damage to fresh young hibiscus flowers and leaves. Thank goodness they can find nutrients in dried seed pods. Have a wonderful weekend.

You're very welcome and wishing you a wonderful weekend as well!! ❤

@trudeehunter, that is an awesome shot; the colors you managed to capture is really something :)

Hello @lynnecoyle1 I can't take all the credit for the colours as that iridescent glow on this male jewel bug is very much true to life. They do know how to shine. Your support and vote are really appreciated. Thank you so much!

Totally take the credit @trudeehunter because I've never seen that bug before in my life haha

You are most welcome...it's my pleasure😅

You're too kind @lynnecolye Thanks again. xox

My pleasure @trudeehunter 😅❤️

Wonderful shot, @trudeehunter, wishing you the best of luck!

Thank you @nolasco. That is very kind of you.

good luck
happy Saturday

Thank you dear @txatxy Your support is greatly appreciated.

I love this one, @trudeehunter. What a crazy bug in such an unusual pod :)

Many thanks for adding your support @fitinfun Jewel bugs look like they have been painted and are fun to study. I also like the textures of the seed pods.

That is an incredible shade of blue and pattern on the Cotton Harlequin Bug! @trudeehunter I wonder if the seeds are tasty and healthy the same way people enjoy eating sunflower and other nutty seeds from dried flowers. You have my vote!

Hello dear Nina. We must be on the same wave length as I have only just sent you a message in discord. Let me know if you can't find it......and huge thanks for your kind upvote and support my friend. It really means a lot to me.

My pleasure, Trudee! That happens frequently with me thinking of someone then hearing from him/her. Telepathic signals! What is your DiscordTag####? Mine is ninahaskin9858 I didn't receive anything from you yet. @trudeehunter

That’s rather special isn’t it Nina? It happens a lot between my husband and I. Many times I go to ring him and my phone rings and it is him. Glad to connect with you in Discord.

Bright and interesting!
Good luck!

I'm glad you like my jewel bug image @eto-ka and I am very grateful to receive your support. Thanks very much.
