My son and I saw the worm eating some wild flowers in the yard. Makes an interesting macro shot.

At the time of taking this photo of a blue flower we did not see the hidden grass hopper. Can you find it?

This was one of my favorites in this series of images. I love the golden crown found in the middle of this beautiful flower.

A covered bridge in the winter time after a fresh morning snow found in central Ohio.

A Mountain Rhododendron during the early summertime in the forest. This area was in the shade and the wind was blowing ever so slightly and I did not want to use too high of ISO. So in order to get a nice clean shot we spent a little while here looking at the flowers and watching the bees taking pictures as the wind would stop.

This is at the amazing Crabtree Falls, NC. We made it to these wonderful waterfalls later in the evening after a full day of hiking. It is a little bit of a hike down a beautiful Blue Ridge Mountain trail. Fortunately it was just my boys and I for around an hour getting various perspectives of the waterfalls, so it was very peaceful. I literally stood in the water to get this perspective. I wanted it to seem as if the water would flow from the bottom of the picture.

I had never heard of a robber fly and I mistakenly called this a dragon fly. But never the less this is one of the most vicious looking insects I have ever seen. Especially when magnified at a macro level. Wondering what that is beneath it? It is a moth it has captured and eating. This insect stayed perfectly still as long as I was taking pictures of it. Then when I moved away it fly off. Not sure if it was just being bold or trying to go undetected.

Saw this ugly dragon fly today just as I began to take some pictures near a pond. It landed right in front of me with a big moth in its clutches. It is amazing to see something so intricate at this level of magnification. How could anyone deny our creator and His glory and believe nature simply just happens.

Early one morning after an autumn rain, fog surrounds the trees on this West Virginia lake. The serene early morning sights and sounds set the mood and lighting for perfect nature photography. There is a small duck in the water swimming this direction but cannot be seen in this photograph.
