Things on flowers

Well, I've been working (at work? Seriously?) and I haven't had time to think of a blather. Plus, I have a malfunctioning mouse. You never know how much you depend on mouse technology until your mouse develops an evil plan of its own, really. Ah well, Wheat's picking me up a new one on his way back from lunch. In the meantime I'm going to use the mouse and the work as an excuse to just give you a brief pictorial essay entitled (as you may have guessed already) Things On Flowers:

 Bee on Veronica. I've been trying for more years than I care to admit to get one of these that wasn't either completely fuzzy or completely overexposed (as it were). Bees move quickly.

Spider on Sunflower. Come on, you had to know that there would be a spider. In this case, the white Goldenrod Spider on the petals to the right. There was also a yellow Goldenrod Spider on the same plant, but I never got a decent shot of it. Goldenrod Spiders can change from white to yellow depending on the flower that they're on. Apparently those two couldn't make up their minds to match.

And here, Bee on Sunflower. I suppose that was pretty obvious, though.

That'll do it for this addition of Things on Flowers, otherwise known as I Have A Few Words For This Bloody Mouse. Seriously, if you knew how long it took to do even just this much, you'd be impressed that you're getting a post at all.

I certainly am.



Later.

I love what you've done with the place!

And so... tonight it has taken me well over three hours to figure out how to operate (read: get photos from camera to new photo editing etc programme, on new and hated laptop, edit same and try to logically file them in files I cannot find as the programme decided where to hide them)....so what you see currently is what you get.

Frankly I'm a little concerned as the print on my screen appears to be for not only the myopic but perhaps for those who are a wee bit deaf as well - yep, that big.

Thus I am simply going to lovingly hit "send" with the hope this inanimate object will take pity and help me out.

Oh, the explanation. As you can see it's a Duchess dog. I could leave you guessing but what you see is not wings, no. But a decent enough photo to have you take a second look anyway so clicky-click to see what I'm on about.

Annnnnd edited to say that I shall make it my next challenge to find the brightness option and the "fill in flash" equivalents on this freakin' programme.
