nature stuff

Well, it's summer, it's hot.
Plants are bloomed, fruits are ripe. Bugs and bees are moving about... people too.

I just love ants. The social aspect of the hive and the way they carry bread crumbs way bigger that themselves.
Also, you find them virtually anywhere.Spiders, they creep and crawl, or so people think. Mostly they just sit around and wait for lunch.
I don't really like to take pictures of flowers. It's so... common. Still, macro shots are always interesting. Yeah, it's pink. I hate pink! [The color. The singer is actually pretty good.]
This flower caught my eye because of the petals, which look so fresh and pulpy.
I've played with fire a lot as a kid. It's fun and dangerous, well, it's not dangerous anymore once you get burned a few times. But it's still fun. :)
Here we have a twisted flame. The tip does look a bit like a dragon head, or an eagle head.
This little guy actually stood still allowing me to take several good pictures of him.
Here he is from the side.And here is his tongue, or proboscis.
Oh, and here's a cat.
