Post your nature photos

[Rosie1]

**UPDATE June 10th: BTW, Pickle Juice made a Bug thread, which is a great idea, because not everyone likes the little guys (spiders, too) so feel free to post your buggy photos there!

Wild animals, landscapes, seascapes, flora, etc. etc.
Let's share what we've taken pictures of!

I will start: Pregnant praying mantis, hanging upside down from the patio ceiling.

Great moon shot! I always have a terrible time getting those.
What camera/lens/set up did you use for it?

Thanks! I do too. I was using my Nikon D80, with a mirror lens. It's manual focus, so as the eclipse progressed and the moon sunk lower in the sky and got darker, it became difficult to focus clearly.

My most hated and watched YouTube video:

I love my macro lens. I tend to not take a lot of "normal" shots and like to mess around with point of view and stuff.

This is a photo of the very edge of a pansy petal:

And this was from a walk in the woods and field one evening, as the sun was setting:

These photos are fab. You all have great cameras. I keep forgetting to take my crappy camera out to take some photos for this thread.

Elephants are fine. What's wrong with insects?
