Blue-flag Iris

Blue-flag Iris
It is time for the Iris to bloom again.  Each year I try to think of a way, yet untried, to record their beauty.

Blue-flag Iris
This image was captured using flash and my insect setup.  The size of the bloom is such that detail shots are needed.  Hope you enjoy.

Water Walker

Stable Fly and Water Walker
I did the setup for insects the other morning for another reason and ended up sitting by the side of the pond.  I saw this drama unfolding.  The water walker was slowly approaching the fly and the bee beyond.  Its movements reminded me of a cat stalking a mouse.

































 The conclusion of this drama is shown below.  The water walker was "lightning" quick.  It was off the lily-pad with fly in its clutches quicker than the eye could see.

Allium

Allium
My Brother-in-law, Marty grew this in his yard.  He gave me the bloom.  The bloom consists of many of the above arranged in a sphere shape.

I found, in looking for the species name, that there are an estimated 260 to 979 species world wide.  The species may be aflatunense but we were unable to confirm that.

Larvikite Knife

Larvikite Knife
I recently purchased this knife from Pam and Dan Lauer at the rock show at Gorman.  I had wanted a knife like this for several years.  It is beautiful

This is the same knife photographed with a different background.

I think that Pam and Dan will be at the Gem, Mineral, Jewelry, Bead and Fossil Show at Richland County Fairgrounds on Saturday, June 6 and Sunday, June 7.  See below.
