That BUGS Me!

The thing about owning a macro lens is that whenever I see an insect, I run back inside for my camera.  Silly, I know...

I almost nailed this spider when I reached in to pick some green beans which are still growing on the vines.  I was able to pick all around him, and got another bowl full of beans for the freezer.

Then, while I was shooting the spider, I heard the familiar buzz of a creature that, in man's scientific understanding, shouldn't be able to fly.

I love bumblebees, as long as they don't land on me.

Living life.
Capturing life.

Crops to the Grasshopper

Walking straight on toward my lens, this grasshopper looks happy.  It's hard to believe that it can cause so much damage.  But the largest swarms--consisting of billions of insects--may have covered hundreds of square miles and caused incredible damage, stripping fields bare.  Still, this guy seems friendly.

He gave also their crops to the grasshopper

And the product of their labor to the locust.

Psalm 78:46 nasb

Living life.

Flying Things

Praise the Lord from the earth,

Sea monsters and all deeps;

Fire and hail, snow and clouds;

Stormy wind, fulfilling His word;

Mountains and all hills;

Fruit trees and all cedars;

Beasts and all cattle;

Creeping things and winged fowl;

Kings of the earth and all peoples;

Princes and all judges of the earth;

Both young men and virgins;

Old men and children.

Psalm 148:7-12 nasb

 Living life.
Capturing life.

You Wove Me

For You formed my inward parts;

You wove me in my mother's womb.

I will give thanks to You,

for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;

Wonderful are Your works,

And my soul knows it very well.

Psalm 139:13-14

NASB

I see the detail in this damselfly, and I am astounded that the Lord took even more time and care to fashion me.

Living life.
Capturing life.
